Default How do I delete all hard returns in a doc in one step.

I have a long Word doc in which the user proceeded as if using a typewriter,
hitting return/enter twice to double space rather than using auto formatting.
I now need to format it correctly and hope to find a way to get rid of all
the extra paragraphing with one step instead of deleting each one at a time.
I tried putting the paragraph symbol into the find/replace feature, but it
won't work. Any ideas?
