Saving as text with line breaks would do it, or sending a document in the
body of a plain-text email, but, as JoAnn says, a lot of writers haven't
figured out that Word is not a typewriter.

I am a newspaper editor and often get Word documents from freelancers,
etc.
When I flow their stories into a pagination program I find that each line
has
a hard return (paragraph mark) and must be edited by hand. I looked
through
the options in Word and couldn't pinpoint the setting that creates this
situation. I'd appreciate any help.
