G'Day Deango,¶
¶ Use the '¶' button on Word's toolbar the see the¶ Paragraph Markers in your pasted text (as you see¶ them here.¶ ¶ Each line you copy ends with a Paragraph Marker,¶ like this line and the line above.¶ ¶ Two Paragraph Markers cause a line skip to form¶ a 'visual' paragraph like this set of two lines.¶ ¶ First search for two Para Markers in a row, and replace¶ them with some weird text like '//Para\\'.¶ ¶ Then search for the remaining single Para Markers, and replace¶ all with a space ' '.¶ ¶ Now restore the original Paragraphs by a search for that text¶ ('//Para\\') replacing all with a Paragraph Marker.¶ ¶ In Word's Search and Replace, you can represent a Paragraph¶ Marker by the two-character sequence '^p', and two-in-a-row¶ by the four-character sequence '^p^p'.¶ ¶ To finish off, you may need to search for double spaces ' ' and¶ replace all with a single space ' '.¶ -- ¶ Regards,¶ Pat Garard¶ Melbourne, Australia¶ _______________________¶ "deango" wrote in message ...

Except that what you see won't be a paragraph break but a line break. An
efficient way to deal with these is described at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...eanWebText.htm -- Suzanne S.
