don't you mean ^p followed by a space, then each lower case letter?
thanks,

  Hi Nancy,

      I'm not Bob but... If you have paragraph marks (represented in the find 
and replace box by ^p)in the middle of paragraphs, you can get rid of them.  
This can be done with the find and replace dialogue.  If you replace ^p 
followed by each lower case letter of the alphabet with a space followed by 
each lower case letter they will go away.  It takes 26 uses of the find and 
replace, but can be done in less than five minutes.  I do this with all books 
that I work on.

  Good luck.  Please ask if I've been less than clear enough.

  Happy proofreading!

  Mayrie

  Hi Bob,
  I would never remove them all.  I don't want that disaster, grin.  But what 
if they appear in the middle of an obvious paragraph?  Shouldn't I take those 
out?
  thanks,

    Hi Nancy.
    If I were you I wouldn't remove the line feeds. Often they are used to 
separate paragraphs, in which case, you will have a book without paragraphs. 
That would be a real bummer to proofread, and not acceptible to the collection.

    Hope this helps.

    Bob

        Hard returns in word are a ^p (shift-6 and a lowercase p).
        Hard page breaks are a ^m (shift-6 and a lowercase m).
        I'm not sure what a line feed is.
