How do I delete "hard enter" at the end of lines in a paragraph?
I have several pages of paragraphs with line lengths of about ten words.
Each line ends with a "hard enter". How do I delete the "enters" at one time, rather than going in and removing each one? |

How do I delete "hard enter" at the end of lines in a paragraph?
One way is to use Find/Replace, replacing ^p with a space.
But... does this concatenate paragraphs you won't want concatenated? If so, an alternative depends upon there being 2 paragraph marks between things that you really want to be separate paragraphs. If there are, then the following 3-step Find/Replace does it: Replace:^p^p With: %%%%% Replace: ^p With:[space] Replace:%%%%% With: ^p Another approach is to use AutoFormat with all of the options turned off. Choose Format - AutoFormat - Options. Remove the checks next to everything. Click OK - OK. This usually works, but not always. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. "Trombone Ken" Trombone wrote in message ...
