In the Find what box of the Find and Replace window, either type in ^p for
the paragraph mark or
click the "More" button, then click the "Special" button and use the
Paragraph mark from the drop-down list.
Either of these usually work for me....

Subject: Linux to word file reformatting
Hi,
I am transferring a number of documents the linux/latex environment to a
windows/word environment. My latext docs end up with hard paragraph markers
that shorten the lines, while word just wants to wrap the lines
automatically at the end of the line.
Is there an easy way to delete all the paragraph markers? I tend to delete
them by hand, but this is rather tedious.
I tried cutting and pasting the paragraph marker into the find and replace
window, but that didn't work. I also tried using alt-0182, which is the
keypad shortcut, but that didn't work either.
Thanks,
Dave
