Default How do I convert paragraph marks to new line marks?

I have a lot of old .txt files that I'd like to convert to .rtf or .doc files
to be managed from now on in Word instead of in Notepad. These text files
have what Word interprets to be a paragraph mark at the end of each line, and
since my writing style is to double space paragraphs, two paragraph marks at
the end of each paragraph. Of course, this effectively eliminates appropriate
word wrapping as I either change the margin width, font or font size, or just
edit the text.

How can I convert these files to effectively eliminate the single paragraph
marks and convert the doubles to singles? Doing so would, I think, give me a
Word compatible paragraph format with full wrap flexibility.

Thanks,
Peggy
