Note that replacing *all* returns will result in the entire document being
one big paragraph--probably not what Bonnie wants.

You can use Find and Replace (Ctrl+H). In the Find what box type (without
quotes) "^p" (that means Paragraph Mark, or carriage return), in the
Replace
with box type a space, since you probably want a space between the last
word
in a line and the first word in the next line. Click Replace All, all all
the carriage returns in the document will be replaced with a space.

I have a document with a ton of "returns" in it, does anyone know of a
way to
automatically delete ALL of the returns in a document?

Thank you
