^p is a paragraph break; ^l is a line break. Sometimes tab breaks (bt)
can create unneeded extra space. You could remove them also, if desired.
(It might be desireable to replace ^t with a single space - usually
that is ^s.)

Hi Flor,
Hot Damn! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 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.
Mike

Hi Mike,
In your document, press control+h to go into your Find & Replace
dialogue. 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.
HTH.
