Hi to all,
I use ^p to designate paragraph returns in LO and I think it works in MS Word 
as well.  I have a need to remove blank lines (empty paragraphs) from time to 
time.
I search for ^p^p and replace with ^p (the ^ (caret) is above the 6 ).
I'm not sure what a 'soft return' is, but to take out the hard return and just 
let the text flow, I search for ^p and replace with ' ' (one blank) assuming 
there was no blanks after the .  before the hard return.  If you need to take 
out tabs ^t will work.
