Many extra ^p s

[Alan O'Brien]

Sometimes I c+p uncopyrighted text from the internet.

Occasionally the author, or transcriber, has put in many unwanted additional
manual paragraph breaks.

I have tried find/replacing ^p with [space] but if I do this for the entire
document I get a single block of unrelieved text.

Any ideas?

1. Replace all ^p^p with something daft like JJJ.
2. Replace all ^p with (space).
3. Replace all JJJ with ^p.

The results may not be perfect but they should be a big improvement.
