All carriage returns or just extra ones (empty paragraphs)? You can search
for ^p and replace with nothing or search for ^p^p and replace with ^p,
depending on which you want to do.

Does anyone have a quick solution to remove all carriage returns from a
Word
document?

I would also like to know how to remove empty lines in excel that result
when I cut and paste data from PDF's, or other sources. They are often
merged
cells, and I can do it, but it takes several steps. ie-select all, click
"merge" cells off, then select all, and sort. This often changes the
order
of the data, which I don't want to do.
