Caret p is the paragraph mark. Caret k is a page break, and caret T is the tab character. If you know those letters, you don't have to scroll down through them.

That took this document down from 85 pages to 45 pages! It made 2,859 replacements! Does the, ^p, represent blank lines? Or, what does, ^p, tell the replacement option to do? I mean, I've witnessed the obvious but, I'm just wondering what the, ^p, represents! Thanks again, take care.

In the Find field, type ^p . [carat p.] leave the Replacement field blank. tab to Replace All or press alt+a. After a bit, word will tell you that it has made xxx replacements, xxx being the number of them. OK button. If you don't see the ^p option (if it's grayed out), then activate the Special button menu by pressing spacebar on it. It's on one of the tabs in the F&R dialogue.
