Reformat to remove carrialge returns?

Post by Frank Kolwicz »

I have a largish document (have also had this problem in the past, too) that has a carriage return on every line, preventing me from reformatting the doc to fill the page better. A Find/Replace process would be nice, if I could tell it to find the car. ret. and replace it with a simple space instead of jumping to the end of the line, backspacing and hitting the space bar on every line except the true paragraph ends.

Here is how to proceed:
1. Select all the "lines" that you want to "reflow" as a single paragraph.
2. Press "Ctrl+Shift+U" ("Join paragraphs" command).
Cheers
