Default Is there a Quick way to format multiline sentences to one sentence?

See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Clean_Up_Text.htm and use the option
replace line breaks with paragraph formattting.

Hi,

I copy and paste lecture notes from pdf files into word but they come
out all multi-lined even though they are just one sentence. Example,
this is what i get in word when i copy and paste from pdf lecture
notes:

"The incisive
papilla can also
vary in size
too, from very
prominent to
fairly flat."

The text is like this in the pdf because it is placed next to a
diagram etc.

I want this text to come out all in one line so it makes a continuous
sentence. Example:

"The incisive papilla can also vary in size too, from very prominent
to fairly flat."

Right now ive been just manually deleting the new line spaces so they
come out looking like what i want. But this takes a long time,
especially if I have hundreds of lecture slides. It is such a waste
of my time....

Is there any way that words automatically formats it into one line
sentences etc?? Or a program, addon..anything that will do it for me?


Thanks in advance, this is my first post.
