Default Hard returns and formatting

When cutting a pasting, such as from a pdf, is there a simple way to
eliminate the hard returns that can affect how lines wrap one after the
other? Thanks!

See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/CleanWebText.htm (and it is
applicable to text pasted from PDF as well, in spite of the filename).

Thanks, but Auto Format did not get rid of the paragraph breaks, nor did auto
correct.

Then you have to use Replace, as described in the article.
