Select just the part of the document with the problem. Choose Replace in the
Editing Group or from the Edit menu. In the Replace dialog box, click the
more button. Under Replace, click the Special button and select the type of
return that was used to break the lines. Manual line break or Paragraph
mark. If you turn on Show/Hide (standard editors end of paragraph mark -
looks like a backwards P) from the Paragraph group or Standard toolbar, you
will be able to tell which was a used. A backwards P would be a Paragraph
mark and a left pointing angled arrow is a Manueal line break. In the
Replace with box, type a space or leave it blank, depending on whether a
space preceeds each of the above or not. Click Replace All - it will replace
all instances in your selection and then ask if you want to search the
remainder of the document. Click No.

After copying and pasting some text from an E-Mail into a letter I was faced
with text with a bunch of short lines with carrage returns after each short
line.
Is there a way to select the text and reformat it into a regular paragraph
without having to manually delete each carrage return?
