I have a large (72 page) file I copied and Pasted to Word 2004.
The lines are not completed across the entire page. This leaves a rather large task of placing cursor then hitting delete, to get all lines to fill out properly. Is there not an easier way to accomplish the above? Many thanks for your kind assist. drybones |

There's a probability that the end of line paragraph marks are no the
standard character (it depends where you have copied your text from). Try copying and pasting the marks into the Find box (note you have to use Ctrl+V to paste in the Find Dialog) instead of using ^p. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "drybones" wrote in message ... : : "Jay Freedman" wrote in message : ... : On Sat, 15 Jan 2005 11:22:10 -0800, "drybones" : wrote: : : I have a large (72 page) file I copied and Pasted to Word 2004. : : The lines are not completed across the entire page.

You haven't answered whether or not there is a paragraph break or line break
at the end of each sentence. If neither is the case, a long shot might be that all the interword spaces are nonbreaking spaces (which would be bizarre but would at least explain the phenomenon). -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne, I do not know how to determine paragraph breaks. 8^(
This problem appeared in a second d/l file as well. It must be something in the original document as I have no idea of the formatting. Spent an hour and half doing the placing cursor then hitting delete to save wasted space. the last d/l was a 36 page and when I finished it came out to a 25 page doc. My knowledge of formatting a document is minimal at best. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Thanks Suzanne,
