Default How can I automatically eliminate all blank lines from a word doc

Use Find and Replace: Find ^p^p (two consecutive paragraph marks) and
replace with ^p (one paragraph mark). Use Replace All repeatedly until
you stop finding any more.

You might also need to deal with lines that contain only spaces (which the
above won't match).

I have a 900+ page document and more than half of contains blank lines. Is
there a way to automatically eliminate on the blank lines in the document?
