I think I got it! Edit/Find/More/Special Turn on the Hide/Show and search and replace paragraph marks.

In general, you can search and replace in most word processing programs. The trick is to know the vocabulary for what you want to do so you can find the appropriate words in the help menu.

I made two mistakes (OK, three or more.)

1)When I copied and pasted into Word I did something wrong. It WILL work.
2) I didn't use the show/hide function to see all those paragraph marks.
3)I didn't know the words to use in the help menu. Somewhere in the search and replace help I read about the special button.

I'll play with this some more. I think for the kind of editing I want to do, I'll have to manually insert some kind of mark and then search and replace that mark. This was discussed here somewhere as a quick and easy way to put lots of break marks at the ends of lyrics lines.
