You'll probably need to first replace the "true" paragraph breaks with some
other characters. See

Actually, under the special button, I had to find "paragraph mark," then I
could do a search and replace with a space. However, there is a problem if
you want to remove the paragraph breaks at the end of each line, but not
the
last paragraph break of several lines together. Anyone know how to remove
all
but the last paragraph mark in a bunch of lines of a paragraph that does't
go
clear across the page - automatically?
Thanks, John

from the Special menu. You can type a space in the Replace with box or
leave
it blank if spaces are already included. Hit Replace All and job's done!

Hi. I converted a large PubMed search to text then copied & pasted the
results into Word. The document ended up being 256 pages long, but
only
because there are manual line breaks rather than text wrap, and the
line
breaks are stopping each line at about 4 inches from the left margin.
I can SEE the line breaks by revealling the formatting but I can't get
RID
of them except by manually deleting each one... I will die of old age,
and I
bet I'll be glad to do so because I'll have carpal tunnel for sure
after
this.
