Obstinate Paragraph Marks

[croy]

I've been given a Word file that's got thousands of useless
paragraph marks, but when I use the search term, "^p^p" to
hunt down pairs, they are not found.

When I use ANSIView on them, they come up as "13".

What gives?

Exactly. So search for ^013 instead. Explanation at

Thank you Susan! That worked perfectly. I'll read your
stuff when my head is clearer.
