Word uses "^l" (also accessible from the Special tab of the expanded
Find and Replace menu) for what it calls a "manual line break".

Didn't know you could do that; but the ^13 would be ASCII for CR
(carriage return), as opposed to ^10, which is LF (line feed).  In the
olden days, you had to use both to tell a line printer to move the print
head left and roll the paper up.  Word's ^p would be the equivalent of
^13^10, I guess.
