Indeed, this does work and may be the only satisfactory solution.

If you place your cursor at the end of a word, then select text to the
immediate left of a word in the next paragraph, you can hit the
spacebar instead of the delete key. This keeps the spacing correct
without a paragraph mark and no need for a macro.

removes the text but inserts a paragraph mark to leave me with two

not find a way to stop it doing this. It's bad enough to have to manually
delete the new paragraph mark, but we have many hundreds of templates
controlled by macros that are being badly affected by this.
How do I stop Word inserting a paragraph mark?
