Find/replace for line break symbol

[LA Horowitz]

when I copy text into a Word doc, the line break symbol (right angle arrow
pointing to the left) usually shows up at the end of each line but the lines
are short. to get the most text on each line, I delete them manually but
when there are many I'd rather use find/replace. However, I can't copy the
symbol into the Find box and it isn't in the special characters list. Any
way to easily delete these symbols?

It *is* in the special characters list, as "Manual Line Break," the code for
which is ^l (lowercase L). See
