Thanks, LL, but that has the same effect that \P\p had for me: none.

Actually, that's not quite true. Both are finding paragraphs containing only a table, but not what appears on my screen as a line containing only a paragraph mark.

er, original authors used empty paras for white space. I'd like to find
and delete them expeditiously.

Is there a handy short way to do a Find for empties?

Seems like a search for \P\p (begin para, end para) should do it, but
seems not to.

Tried copying an empty to the clipboard and doing a find for "Text &
Character Formats on Clipboard" and got nothing.
