Default Remove paragraphs

If you just need to remove the excess paragraph marks (and they really are
paragraph marks, which I suspect they are) you can use Find and Replace:

Search for ^p^p and replace with ^p so at least one paragraph mark is left
at the end of each paragraph. That way you can still see the paragraphs. If
you really want to remove all paragraph marks, replace with nothing.

Note that you may have to repeat the process a few times before all excess
marks are replaced.

After doing this you could replace ^p with ^p^t, a paragraph mark and a tab.
That way each paragraph will start with an indent which I feel is easier to
read.
