I'm working on converting a document that has been set up only 70 characters
per line to a 100 characters per line. The entire document is in paragraphs
of 70 characters per line and it take hours if I was to manually try and
change it.

Is there a way of formating the text of the document all at once so that I
don't have to manually change each line?

Hoping someone can help me out.

Thanks!

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CleanWebText.htm.

After you've got rid of the line/paragraph breaks, change the font to a
monospaced one such as Courier and set margins such that you get 100
characters per line; then save as .txt.

Thank you, Suzanne.

This has been driving me crazy for the past week and the link you provided
was very helpful.
