Publisher can't find double paragraph characters and replace it with a single one

[eworkflow]

My client provides manuscripts containing all needed basic character formats but uses 2 consecutive paragraph characters whenever only one new paragraph character is needed to correctly convert the text to the Publisher's paragraph styles. Since the manuscript is on the cloud storage and its viewer provides no text editing capabilities, I want to avoid creating any format revisions there, and also want to avoid creating my local storage version of it. I try to use Find and Replace of the Publisher 2.2 but finding double pilcrow ¶¶ and replacing it with ¶ fails. Please advise.

It works fine for me on Windows.

Are you trying to find a Pilcrow character, or a Paragraph Break? They are different. The pulldown in the Find field will let you insert a Paragraph Break (or two), and similarly for the pulldown in the Replace field. 

If that doesn't explain it, can you provide a screenshot or recording showing the problem, and a sample .afpub document?

That solves it for me. Thank you.
