changing "<p> to """" first, same as the other punctuation marks, would have fixed that too.

As you seem like an expert in wildcards, can you please write how can I remove the page numbers that had mixed with the sentences?

macro: At least in LibreOffice, turn "record macro on", do your editing thing, turn record macro off and name it.
No expert, someone will post a 12 character regex that will do it all.
For the page thing, if the page numbers are like "Page x", "Page xx", "Page xxx", you can try find and replace. Turn on regex (click the box) and change " Page [0-9]" to "" (nothing, don't enter the quotes). Repeat with " Page [0-9][0-9]" and "Page [0-9][0-9][0-9]."
If you tell Word what language the document is in, or set that language as the default, both the spellchecker and grammar tools should start working.
I'm doing this from memory, I haven't used Word in a few years.
