Can I MERGE PARAGRAPHS without manualy deleting paragraph end tags
I copy paste some text from PDF or other formats to World. The text is
acurate but all the lines are treated as a separated paragraph and end with the paragraph-end tag. Removing them manualy in a multi page document takes very long time. Is there any way to delete the line endings or somehow merge dozens of paragraphs in one body of text. Special copy paste as text does not eliminate the paragraph tags. |

Can I MERGE PARAGRAPHS without manualy deleting paragraph end tags
There are a variety of techniques for converting imported text into wrapped
text. Some involve using find/replace. Here's one that doesn't, and which usually works: 1. Choose Format - AutoFormat from the menu. 2. Click the Options button and remove the checks next to *all* of the options shown under Apply and Replace (unless you explicitly want the noted replacements, such as replacing straight quotes with smart quotes). Click OK. 3. Back in AutoFormat, with AutoFormat now selected, click OK. Alternatively, the Find/Replace approach assumes that there are two paragraph marks between each paragraph, and only only one paragraph mark between each line within a paragraph. The following three Find/Replace actions will do what you want: 1. Find:^p^p Replace:xxxxx 2. Find:^p Replace:[space] 3.
