If Word can't find paragraph marks, search for ^13

Certain formatting in a MS Word document may prevent you from finding (and replacing) paragraph marks (or pilcrows) which can usually be located with the ^p formatting code in the Find and Replace tool. In this example, we can see that while there are clearly two pilcrows in a row in several locations in the document, Word isn't finding them.



We can locate the pilcrows by instead searching for ^13 in place of ^p.
