Example:

have imported a large
document (520 pages) from
a text file so every line
is formatted with a hard
return.

Is there any way that I can remove these without doing it manually.
I've been trying to do that but the constant readjustments in such a
large document is causing Word to crash about every half page or so.
Leaving the returns in place is not an option.

Thanks for your time and concideration.SE
