Bob may well be correct in what he said and in the fact that this is a "bug." 
 However, Mr. Greaves set up the situation that the document contained a 
space, paragraph mark, followed by a table.  When he searched for ^w^p, it 
wouldn't find it.
My response to Mr. Greaves was to search for what was in the document, a 
space and a paragraph mark.  All spaces may be "white" space, but not all 
"white" space are spaces.  If there is a "bug" using the white space code, 
then don't use it.  Very simple.  However, in Mr. Greaves scenario, he was 
*not* searching for what he said was there.
