I'm trying to isolate any string alone on on a line. I always thought that a line ends with either a paragraph marker ^p or a ^l . When I attempt to do a search for either a string at the end of line or just the end of line character itself, the search fails. In fact, searching for a ^p yields the following error message: "^p is not a special character for the Find What box or is not supported when the Use Wildcards check box is selected."

What's going on? Other references speak of being able to use ^p. Has something changed? I used to use it myself.
