Default Reformatting text copied from email

When I copy and paste text from an email into Word it keeps a narrow or short
text line and does not expand to the right margin.

Is there a quick way to remove the line break or line returns to fit the
Word document. I've tried replacing manual line breaks through the find and
replace feature but it only caught 1 or 2 and the paragraph break went from
the title to the end. The only way I've been able to change it is to go line
by line and hit delete at the end over and over. This is time consuming and
frustrating. Surely there is an easier way. Can anyone help me? I have
Word 2000.

Thanks.
