Default Deleting extra spaces and paragraph marks

YAY! Such a simple method to deleting leading spaces. Center Text, then Left
align text. Now for the extra paragraph marks.

I have TXT file I converted to Word 2003 that used spaces instead of tabs for
indents and ended every line with a carriage return. Here's a sample:

I want to delete the extra spaces and carriage returns so it fills the page
better and is easier to read. Here's a sample of what I want to have:

Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of
those things which are most surely believed among us,¶

Even as they ***

Is there anyway to achieve this without going through the 149 pages, 5,284
paragraphs, 7,564 lines, and 49,633 words in the document?

I tried AutoFormat and it inserted Headers, TOC, and who knows what all.
What a mess!
