Default How do I delete extra paragraph characters

When I copy a document there is often paragraph formatting at the end of each
line making the document hard to read in Word. This is especially true when I
copy something that has been written in column form so each line is very
short. I know there used to be a method to quickly remove all extra
formatting charcters in Word a few (probably more than that!) releases ago. I
would appreciate any help in removing the formatting in a very long document.

I am using Word 2003

Thanks, Lynn
