Word 2003 - shift/return problem
Hi - I'm trying to format a long document for a directory. It was given to me with 'shift/return's at the end of each line/paragraph instead of just 'return's. As a result each time I try to, for instance, justify a section, it effects the entire text and it's driving me insane. If anyone could tell me a way to, in effect, split the text up, or replace the 'shift/return' for a full return, I'd be eternally grateful. Otherwise I fear it will be an absurdly boring exercise... Thanks Dan -- Pistols |
