code for "^p"

[Igor]

In a standard Word 2000 search & replace, I often look for "^p" for a
paragraph mark, but when doing a wildcard search the only code I can find
is for a manual line break, "^l", which does not find paragraph marks. Is
there a wildcard equivalent for ^p?

Yes, it's the ASCII code ^13.

Someday we may get an explanation from Microsoft for this bit of
illogic.
