if the search/replace characters for searching out paragraph returns is ^p,
what is the combination for searching and replacing soft returns?

It depends on what you mean by "soft returns." If you mean the places where
Word wraps the text naturally, there is no way to search for those. If
you're looking for line breaks (Shift+Enter), use ^l (that's a lowercase L).
