Can I search for special characters in Frontpage 2002, such as ^p for
paragraph return in order to find and replace multiple lines of code?

No. Also a paragraph return in HTML is with a open <p> and a ending </p>

You could do it if you went into code view and searched first for <p> and
then for </p>. The "replace tag" feature might also do it.

Thanks Thomas. What about newer versions of Frontpage? Can multiple lines be
changed in FP 2003?

Yes, but be aware that the <p> tag can be combined with other attributes, so trying to do a global S
& R may now work in all cases, so you may still have to review each individual page.

The same would reply to doing a multi-line S & R that the line breaks, etc. must be the same on all
pages.

Use the special search by Html tags on the Html Tags tab in Edit Find (searching for the <p> tag)
- either with a Html rule or Replace action

For multi-line find and replace, you could also use a tool like our
product Web Search and Replace. It can also handle optional whitespace,
so you could either paste in the multiple lines of text you want to
find, or you could use an EasyPattern such as

[ 0+ whitespace ]my line 1
[ 0+ whitespace ]my line 2
[ 0+ whitespace ]my line 3
[ 0+ whitespace ]my line 4

and this will cope with FrontPage's indentation.

For more, see http://www.searchandreplace.net

Anytime you use a 3rd party application that modify files within a FP web / site, you end up with FP
not being aware that changes have been made to the web / site content.

I have found that to be true in the past, and have had to do a full publish
of the site.
