When I write some text in Word2003 and hit RETURN then the next text starts in a new line.
Assume now I have 30 lines of text which contains multiple CRs.

When I mark now this paragraph and click on block text (=text is on left and right side margin aligned)
the the text stays as it is because of the embedded CRs. How can I tell Word 2003 to remove all
embedded CRs and reformat the paragraph with left+right alignment?

In Word terms, if you have more than one CR (¶) selected, then you have more
than one paragraph selected, even if each one is only one line long... In
fact a single ¶ on a line is a paragraph as far as Word is concerned.

Why are you hitting Enter at the end of each line? Let Word wrap the text
automatically.

Now, the easiest would be to use the Find/Replace feature. Select the text
that contains the unwanted ¶. In the Find field type "^p" (no quotes), type
nothing in the Replace field. Click on "Replace All". When Word asks if you
want to continue replacing in the rest of the document say No.

Wouldn't it be better to put a space in the Replace With field? Otherwise
the text that precedes & follows each ¶ will be joined as a single string.
