[bksvol-discuss] Finding Soft Hyphens

I'm validating a book that has numerous words broken up by soft hyphens.
I'd like to fix these, especially because they're not words at the end of
lines or pages, just random words in the middle of various lines.  I tried
selecting the soft hyphen, and copying it into the Find box so I could
locate other occurrences, but it won't copy and paste.  Is there an easy way
to find this soft hyphen?
 
This book poses another problem.  There are lots of the common scanos in it.
For instance, 1 for I, rime for time, etc.  I've fixed the ones I found as I
skimmed the book, but many of these won't register in the spell checker.  I
suppose it means I should read them through.  The real tricky one is "me"
for "the."  I suspect, if the OCR did that, it did some other funky stuff
for  the letters th.  This is a long book.  It's Buddhism in Action.
Knowing I can be a slow validator, should I return it, or take the time to
read through it.  I'm interested in the book, and will gladly read it cover
to cover, but at over 400 pages, this could take me a while.  The scan is
generally excellent, but there are lots of these little OCR quirks.
 
Advice is welcome.
 
Thanks,
 
Lora
