In the Find What box, enter ^p and in the Replace With box type one space character (press the spacebar once). Then click the Replace All button. That will leave the first character, because it doesn't follow a paragraph mark (which is what the ^p code searches for). You'll probably also want to remove the extra paragraph marks at the ends of lines that aren't really the last line of a paragraph.

You could use Find/Replace to replace " " with "". If you needed to
automate this process, you could do the Find/Replace with VBA. You might record the macro to do exactly that, in which case you wouldn't need to become a full-fledged VBA developer.
