Default replace section mark with para sign


I frequently import material that contains section marks (shift-enter)
instead of paragraph signs. I'd like to use Search and Replace to change the
marks to paragraph signs. How do I indicate the section mark in the "find"
box?

Shift+Enter gives a line break not a section break.

To change them to paragraph breaks ..

Find ^l (caret, lower case letter L)
Replace ^p (caret, lower case letter P)

Enjoy,
