I read the instructions about using AutoFormat, but AutoFormat does not work
the way the instructions indicate, i.e. the paragraph marks at the end of
each line are not removed. Any other suggestions?

You can remove them manually by going to each line end and deleting the
carriage return. But, that's laborious. Is there a way to highlight the
entire paragraph and have Word automatically delete all carriage returns with
a single key stroke?

Not quite a single keystroke, but see

Use the Find/Replace method that's also described in the same article.
