Default Wide right margins in copied text

I have Word 2007 and sometimes copy and paste text from the web. I
frequently wind up with wide, ragged margins on the right. I've tried using
"Find and Replace" to replace the pilcrow marks by replacing ^t with a
space. I also tried ^l^l . "Find" says it can't locate either of these
marks. Can anyone help?

The ^t code is for a tab character; ^p or ^l is what you should be searching
for. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CleanWebText.htm
