How to find a paragraph break using wildcards (^13 DOESN'T WORK)

[Guest]

I need to find paragraph returns using wildcards
Word help suggests ^13 to overcome the fact that ^p will not work using
wildcards.
However, ^13 doesn't work either on my version of word (version 11.2).
Does anyone know another way to find paragraph returns using wildcards?

^13 will find paragraph marks. Are you sure they are paragraph marks and not
line feeds (^l)
See http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm

It should work. What happens when you try? Note that ^13 is for "Find
what" only, not for "Replace with."

You may want to display nonprinting characters; see
