Opening A Text File With Word--Fixing Format
Okay, here's the problem:
I have some books that are in text format & I want to edit them, so I open the txt file using MS Word. When its open the format is all over the place... Example: Th is f ile is g oing to be f ixed. Almost every other word has a space in odd places within the word, and every sentence has a sentence that is fragmented & continued on the next line. So my question is...Is there any way to correct this, without having to go through every word to get ride of the spaces & without having to backspace all the time. I want this: Example: Th is f ile is g oing to be f ixed. To look like this: Example: This file is going to be fixed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx |

G'day KlikThis ,
You'd have to try connecting each single letter fragment to the preceding block, check for a spelling error, then the succeeding block, and check for a spelling error This would take care of a fair percentage.
