Now I gather that what you have is

Text[Tab]Text[Enter]
Text[Tab]Text[Enter]
Text[Tab]Text[Enter]
Text[Tab]Text[Enter]

If that is correct, you should insert a one row, two column table in the
document, them while holding down the Alt key, left click and drag the mouse
down the first "column" of text to select it, then use Ctrl+C to copy it to
the clipboard, then click with the mouse inside the left hand cell of the
table and use Ctrl+V to paste the text into that cell. Then do the same
with the right hand column of text, pasting it into the right hand cell.

When you have that down correctly (it take a bit of mouse control), you can
delete the original text and then select the text in the table and use Edit
replace, to replace ^p with a space. That will convert the text in each
column into a single paragraph.

Thanks to both of you. I don't suppose there is any quick way of changing
the
single culumn created to a 'full' paragraph without having to use the
backspace on each line of text.

It is not clear exactly what you have now. But, possibly select the text
and then from the Tables menu, select Convert Text to Table and choose
the
tab as the delimiter.

Where a two colums have been created using tabs: How do I re-format the
columns so that I can separate the left and right column in order to
make
two
paragraphs?
