Default need help removing hard returns from a document imported from

It works for me.

Click teh big round "File" icon in the top left corner. Click Word
OptionsPersonalize. Ensure "Show Developer Tab on Ribbon" is checked.

For now just put the file Clean Up Text.Dot on your desktop. Click teh
Developer tab and then select Document Template. On the Templates and
Addins Tab select "Add" then navigate to and add the Clean Up Text.Dot.

Click the Add-In Tab on the Ribbon and in the Custom Toolbars pane you
should see Display Cleaner Panel.

If that doesn't work then you may need to look at your macro security setup.

Well something happened this time but I'm not sure exactly what.

Actually everything happened as before and the file didn't register
with Word 2007. Then on a whim I double clicked the file itself and a
new word document opened and proceeded to check itself. Exactly how
do I get this to work on me document.

Concider me a VERY raw user. I use to be very good at this but after a
stroke the simplest things are like Greek and the oddest things make
total sense.

I truly appreciate the help.

Has this been tried on Word 2000? Who wrote it/looks after the
downloadable code?

Example:

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
