^ at the end of every half sentence, but I cannot reformat to get rid of these paragraph breaks. reuven "Stefan Blom" wrote: See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/CleanWebText.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "reuven1925" wrote in message ...

Did you use Find and Replace to replace ^p with nothing or a space?

Yes,I did as you said ,without any response. But experimenting,On the "replace' I pressed the delete key, which of course deleted all the paragraph divisions leaving a continuous document with all the punctuation retained but without any paragraphs. But tell me how is it possible with what formating command to introduce all these unwanted paragraphs resulting in split sentences? I have tried with a document, and it only possible if you introduce these paragraphs deliberately by hand, or by making a macro. reuven "Suzanne S.

It sounds as if you may have had a space in your "Replace with" box, though
replacing the paragraph mark with a space should accomplish much the same thing. A document that is created as "text" will have a paragraph break at the end of each line. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2000 Split sentences
There is not a paragraph break at the end pf each line but a paragraph break in the line. All I want to do is to get rid of the unwanted paragraphs but leave the document with the normal paragraphs. Is it possible or not.? All I know is when the document is downloaded onto the browser it is as it should be , but when I copy and paste to Word2000, the lines are split. reuven "Suzanne S.

Word 2000 Split sentences
In cases where each line ends with a paragraph mark, there are usually two
paragraph marks between "real" paragraphs of text. This should never be tolerated in Word because it defeats important features of the paragraph style, including widow and orphan control. If so, the solution is to follow the following sequence: 1. Find "^p" (no quotation marks in the box, and the letter must be lowercase) replace with "^l" (caret, then lower case "L") 2. Find "^l^l" and replace it with "^p" 3. Find "^l" and replace with a space 4. Find "SpaceSpace" and replace it with "space" This will leave a single paragraph mark at the end of each block of text. If, on the other hand, paragraphs have no extra space between them, they are usually indented by a Tab or (shudder) multiple spaces. Indention in Word (mislabeled "Indentation" to the horror of professional editors) should be handled in the paragraph style. 1. Find "^p" and replace with "^l" 2. Find "^t" and replace it with "^p^t" 3. Find "^l" and replace with a space 4. Find "SpaceSpace" and replace it with "space" "reuven1925" wrote: There is not a paragraph break at the end pf each line but a paragraph break in the line.
