Default Way to make all the parts of the highlighted searched text appear?

Hi

When searching in Word for someting like "^p^pb", the upper edge of the
editing screen shows the "b" in the first line; one has to scroll up to see
the highlighted two paragraph marks. Since I need to check if a replacement
should be made in every case, is there a way to make sure that even the
paragraph marks aren't overriden at the upper edge?

Not without a macro, unfortunately. This is one of my "favorite" long-time
gripes about how Word's otherwise very strong search feature works. It
really would be great if it would show you the full context of the find, not
just the tail end.
