I think this is bad advice, effectively changing the document to one paragraph just does not sound right to me. Did you select all and then make the change? Were the affected paragraphs definitely selected? Select all does not work well after copy and paste from the net where DIV's get converted to sections and the sections get selected individually. In this case i usually click on the offending paragraph, then select all and make my change. You may as a last resort need to copy the data out of the sections and from navigator then delete the sections. It is a worry if paragraphs that were changed later revert. I have not seen this specific behaviour.
