Let's all remain calm everybody, the OP forgot to mention something key.
Shall we start over.
I am the lucky recipient of a very lengthy report contained in,
unfortunately not attached to, an email message (if you think this OP is a
problem you should be so lucky as to be working with the sender). My duty
is to edit this doc extensively, then combine it with others, etc., etc.
When you C/P from the email into Word, you get a zillion line
ending/backspace/paragraph characters, with formatting to match. Really
ugly.
I was hoping there was a way to find/replace to clean this mess up.

Okay. I was thinking more along the lines of a letter/number/symbol and
not a command. Perhaps the OP needs to clarify what he/she is doing.

Well, actually, there is. (008) But whether Word uses it, I don't know;
probably not.
There is an overtype format for making overlines and so forth but I
can't say how it
actually works.
The backspace used to work fine on dot matrix printers and Selectrics,
together with line
feed (without carriage return). I programmed some tables with these
characters and it was
fun to watch the printer jog back and forth, up and down.
