I don't think he's talking about a new line soft return (i.e. the
shift-enter type).  You can search for that kind of return in
Word.  He's talking about where Word auto-flows the text without a
any kind of return.  At least that was my understanding.

In the Find and Replace window, enter the symbol for what you want to
search for, in the Find field. Here's a quick reference to the symbols to
enter for what you're looking for.

  a.. Regular carriage returns  are $
  b.. Soft returns inserted with a Shift Return, are \n
  c.. Just an empty paragraph, i.e. a carriage return but with no text on
that line, is ^$
  d.. Tabs are \t

      Enter ^l  (that's an L) for a manual

return)
      
    
    Maybe my terminology is wrong. By
"soft" line return I meant
the
line-end breaks that Word itself assigns -- those which would move
automatically if the margins are changed.

*Those* are the places I want nail down (with either a ^l or ^p,
doesn't matter to the document's appearance). And *those* are the places
where there is no search/replaceable special character...
