Hi Peter,

Use the code -- ^13 -- for the paragraph mark:
^13[0-9]

For some stupid reason or another, ^p does not work in wildcard searches.

I wished the help were better generally, too.

For wildcard find/replace, Graham Mayor (with Dave Rado and me) put
something together:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.htm

Greetings,
Klaus

I would suggest the revised version at
http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm maintained so that I can
keep editorial control of the page and include clarifications and updates as
they come along. Did Dave have anything to do with that article? I thought
that he had moved on long before? Your contributions however were
invaluable.
