In Microsoft Word, when I display all formatting marks, a special
character appears that I don?t recognize.

It causes a line break, but it is not the Paragraph Mark (^p).

It looks like the arrow on the Enter Key of my keyboard:  a slight
downward stroke and a long arrow pointing to the left.

What I want to do is replace that unknown mark with a Paragraph Mark. 
I can do this by deleting the special character and hitting the Enter
Key.  But when there are several of them, I want to select an entire
range and then use Find and Replace in order to replace them all at
once.  Unfortunately, I don?t know the appropriate code for the
unknown mark.

(1) Can you tell me what this ?unknown mark? is? (What?s it called?)
(2) What code can I use for it in a Find and Replace operation?

Thank you.

Hi  again rambler,

The following link has a good explanation of "nonprinting characters".
 The character you've mentioned is a line break and is included in
paragraph formatting.

What do all those funny marks, like the dots between the words in my
document, and the square bullets in the left margin, mean?
"A right-angle arrow pointing to the left represents a line break,
inserted with Shift+Enter. You can use a line break to start a new
line without starting a new paragraph."
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm

To Find and Replace the line break character:

Find what?
Edit / Replace (CTRL+H)
Make sure the cursor is ready to type in the text field.
Click on the "Special" button.
Choose: Manual Line Break
You should now have a ^l in the text field.

Replace with:
Put the cursor in the in the text field.
Click on the "Special" button.
Choose: Paragraph Mark
You should now have a ^p

Replace All.

I enjoyed figuring this out for you (I tried it out and it worked like
a charm). As always, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to
ask.

Thank you,
hummer
