This seems to me like a problem that should be solved by the concordance
software, not left to you to figure out. Even with VBA I don't think it
would be easy to do, but if a VBA solution is acceptable, you'd do better to
post your question in one of the word.vba newsgroups.

Thank you, Suzanne S. Barnhill, for a quick reply,
here's what I want:
Let's say, that's how a story looks:
Community Colleges, institutions of
higher education offering two-year
programs of general study or technical
or vocational training.
Lines wrapped at paper margins. Now whether I copy the text or save it in
plain text format (with or without line breaks LR/LF) it won't preserve
the
original word wrapping. When I use the concordance software to get the
word
from the first line, say "story" it would also quote the sentence cut at a
line break, but as lines are only wrapped at margins and don't actually
have
any breaks the concordance software instead of quoting the first line only
would grab the whole sentence, which might be as long as a paragraph. Thus
this would also render line numbering in MS Word useless for the
concordance
software.
So, what I would like to do is to make this "line wrapping" permanent,
insert some sort of carriage returns automatically, not by hand. Is there
an
easy way to do that?
Thanx,
ArthurN
