Thanks Suzanne. Can you tell me more about the "Clean Up Text"
program. I downloaded it, but what about installing it? What version
of word? I've got Word 2000 and Windows XP. And what is an Add-in?
Thanks, John

Hi. I converted a large PubMed search to text then copied & pasted
the results into Word. The document ended up being 256 pages long,
but only because there are manual line breaks rather than text
wrap, and the line breaks are stopping each line at about 4 inches
from the left margin.

I can SEE the line breaks by revealling the formatting but I can't
get RID of them except by manually deleting each one... I will die
of old age, and I bet I'll be glad to do so because I'll have
carpal tunnel for sure after this.
