Hi Evan,
Long story made short: a line break is ancient code for manipulating a
mechanically-based printer that works line by line. When you find these in your
document after OCRing, they can turn out to be either something that should
have been a hard paragraph mark, or it is marking the end of a line of text in
a printed book and might just need to be a blank space as it is splitting apart
a sentence or consecutive sentences in a paragraph. You can't tell without
examining each one.
Way back when programmers used punch cards to talk to a printer, a line break
meant something different than a hard paragraph mark when it comes to actual
computer code and how it is read and understood and used within a program.
(This message brought to you by someone who is old enough to have actually
programmed printers with punch cards. Yeah. That old.)

Okay, so that leads me to the next question: What’s the difference between a
line break and a paragraph mark, that is, between ^l and ^p?

Hi Susan:
The ^l indicates a line break.
When I see one I remove it and start a new line.

Hi John,
What is the caret l supposed to do? Thanks.

Hello group:
Isn't that done by having Word search for ^l (caret + L) ?

OK, I'm sitting here laughing, because I told Larry to contact Lissi or Sandi
or Debra! LOL! When I'm proofreading their books (or in the case of Lissi
reading a book she proofread that I downloaded from the collection to read for
fun), they find this error during their scans or during proofing using a screen
reader or braille. For the life of me I don't know how they do it! There are a
couple of other completely blind proofreaders whose books never have this
problem either when I download them to read once the book is in the
collection--Sue Stevens comes to mind. So maybe one of them can chime in and
tell us how they do it?
Even with sight, I can only find it by skimming through a book and looking at
the start of every paragraph to check it out. I haven't found any other way to
do it visually. It's slow, tedious and a pain in the butt.

Hmmm, well, I can’t think of a way to find those, but Judy is a Word maven. If
there is a way, I’d bet on her knowing it.
