How can I use Find and Replace with a paragraph symbol? Seems like it will work for the first one only. It will not Find the next one.
I have a document that has paragraph symbols at the ends of the lines, so I want to replace the paragraph symbol with a space so the text will flow.

Edit/Replace doesn't work for you?

No, that's why I asked in the forum.
It works for words but not for paragraph symbols.

It has been so long since I posted, I have already spent about 24 hours going through line by line, replacing BY HAND the paragraph symbols with a space so that the paragraphs will flow each time I change the font, instead of being cut off arbitrarily.
I started with over 350 pages and cut it down considerably after doing this, because the lines were cut off in the wrong places. After they could find their own wrapping place, the whole thing looks LOTS better and takes up fewer pages.
But that required manually going to each line, adding a space, and then deleting the paragraph symbol. Took a loonnnngg time.
