Deleting extra spaces and paragraph marks
I have TXT file I converted to Word 2003 that used spaces instead of tabs for
indents and ended every line with a carriage return. Here's a sample: ..Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a ¶ ............declaration of those things which are most surely believed ¶ ............among us,¶ ¶ ..Even as they *** I want to delete the extra spaces and carriage returns so it fills the page better and is easier to read. Here's a sample of what I want to have: Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,¶ ¶ Even as they *** Is there anyway to achieve this without going through the 149 pages, 5,284 paragraphs, 7,564 lines, and 49,633 words in the document? I tried AutoFormat and it inserted Headers, TOC, and who knows what all. What a mess! -- Für Elise - Support the Breast Cancer & Heart Foundations |

Deleting extra spaces and paragraph marks
