RE: Searching for empty paragraphs
The approach Stuart describes for Word will not mess up formatting. I've used the following Word macro for the past several years to clean up extra paragraphs and extra spaces. YMMV, but in Word 2000 and Word 2003, it has worked well for me. It may appear to have a few extra iterations of the replace command than seems necessary at first blush, but in my experience, they do no harm and tackle those documents truly replete with extra paragraphs and spaces.

The problem with that is when you replace it with \p (to get rid of the empty), you lose the paragraph formatting you want to keep unless both paragraphs (the good one and the empty one) use the same format. That's what made ^\p such a good solution - you could replace it with nothing.
