Trying to edit a thesis formatted in TeX; paragraph markers (hard line
breaks) are screwing up the display as I format in Word 2007. Search for ^p
doesn't find them; anyone know how to search and replace hard line breaks
from TeX - formatted documents?

boy, Word and TeX are pretty much aliens to each other!

I trust you are not opening the TeX source code as TXT in Word, so you
must have exported something from TeX? Or did you scan it in, say, a
resulting PDF? [Then we cannot blame TeX ... :-)]

Before we know a little more, you might want to try the following:
