How can I delete all blank lines from a plain text file?
Ouch. Thanks for catching that.

What you want to do is replace ^p^p (two successive paragraph marks) with ^p. This will fail if there is any space on the blank line, so be sure to display nonprinting characters (Ctrl+*) and look for spaces (dots). You can remove those first by searching for space^p (where "space" indicates a press of the Spacebar in the "Find what" box) and replacing with ^p. -- Daiya Mitchell, MVP Mac/Word Word FAQ: http://www.word.mvps.org/ MacWord Tips: http://www.word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/ What's an MVP?
