Problem with find and replace of paragragh marks

I have a document that came through OCR withe many exta dougle Paragraph or
enter marks (^p). The document is 500 pages. I was selecting a group of
words that formed a paragraph and then did a find and replace with replacing
^p^p with a space. Then I would select replace and it would take out all the
extrta paragraph marks.

One time I accidentally selected replace all and it closed up over 4,000
instances before I got it to stop. I used undo and it worked. However now
when I selected the next paragraph of words and tried to replace ^p^p with a
space it did not work.

I clsed Word and restarted. Still no luck. I did a repair of Word and still
no luck. Other uses of find and replace still work normally. Any
sugesstions. Thank you.

Problem does not exist. I was pressing the wrong button after selection,
replace instead of replace all.

I will now go and hang my head in shame for a short time.
