subject: word6 replace failure

If I've got this right: Word6 fails in its Edit Replace function 
when the document holds some white space, then a paragraph mark 
followed by a table.
Word finds the search string "^w^p" (White space followed by a 
Paragraph mark), but does NOT effect the replacement string "^p".
To see the effect:
        Start a new document
        Tap the spacebar (white space)
        Tap the Enter key (paragraph mark)
        Choose Table, Insert, conform (Table)
        Ctrl-Home, Shift-Ctrl-End (select the entire document)
        Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-V (duplicate the stuff)
        then
        Edit Replace
                search string: ^w^p
                replace string: ^p
                replace All.
You'll probably see NO Change in your document.
