Not that lucky. At the end of each line is a return. I can't put a return
in the Replace field as it won't editpaste. Even if I could, it would
string the whole page together and I'd have a similar problem going through
and reinputting returns at the end of the lines I do want.
I don't think the returns are hard input ones, as if I Del the blank spaces,
the lower line comes up anyway. Maybe I'm not explaining it all that well
but it sure is irritating me - I probably have something over 300 pages to
format like this yet if I could get rid of the bits i don't want it would
probably condense down to about 30 pages all up.

Turn your show/hide button on. Determine what the character is that's making
the line break. It could be a line break or it could be a paragraph return,
or even a tab or a table (make sure Table--Show Gridlines). Then you can
delete the line break or return. Perhaps you'll get lucky and there's a line
break after the song and a return after the artist, thereby allowing you to
use find/replace (See Edit--Find and Replace--More--Special...) to get
rid of the line break.

Hi. I save OE posts of 60's Top 100 tracks each week. They are set out
with
the title of the song and to the right its position in the chart, last
week's
position and highest position. Beneath that is the artist. I want to
make
them one-line lists. I can get rid of the numbers easily by replacing
them
with nothing, leaving me with a lot of blank spaces. I still have the
song
on one line followed by the artist on the next line. I want to bring the
second line up to the first line so I can then sort and delete multiples
(songs are in the charts many times).
I have tried deleting the blank spaces but it still won't bring the second
line up to the first line. As I'm doing very large numbers of these, I
wondered if there's any quick way of doing it other than me going along to
the end of each line and deleting the end-of-line mark? I hope.
thanks Hoges in WA
