Quark XPress: Find and Replace Soft Returns with Hard Returns

Quark XPress is an awesome program. If you're like me, you just Googled for "quarkxpress find and replace soft returns with hard returns" (or something similar). However, unlike me, you actually found an article (this one) which answers your question.

In the 'Find / Change" dialog box (CTRL+F or COMMAND+F):

\n = soft returns (new line but not a new paragraph)
\p = hard returns (new paragraph)

Also... A BONUS TIP:

\b = new page (when inserted, moves all subsequent text to the next page)

Note: In your actual document, the "invisible character" version of the new page code (above), when viewed with "Show Invisibles" (CTRL+I or COMMAND+I) looks like two downward arrows stacked vertically (or perhaps like a tiny tree or a tiny flower growing). Umm, sorry, that is the best description I can give.

EXTRA BONUS / NEAT TRICK:

Here's a neat trick. Whenever you need to know how to find and replace something odd, like one of the above codes, first "Show Invisibles" (CTRL+I or COMMAND+I) and then highlight (in your document) one of whatever you need to find or replace with. Then copy it, and click into your "Find / Change" dialog box (CTRL+F or COMMAND+F) and paste.
