The chances are that there are two hard carriage returns between
lines.

 

Let's hope that there are at least three between paragraphs, or you
may be in for some serious editing.

 

Suggest you make a copy of the document first, just in case the
following fails.

 

In Word 2003's Search and Replace, Search for ^p^p - that is
circumflex p circumflex p.  (The circumflex is shifted 6.)

 

In the Replace with box, simply pres space bar once.  Now click
Replace all.

 

This will remove all instances of two consecutive hard carriage
returns, and replace them with a space.

 

However, be warned that if paragraph breaks are only separated with
two returns, you will end up with one massive paragraph.

 

George.

Hi all,

 

On a Word document I have Jaws reports a blank between each line. Is
there a quick way to remove those blanks in Word 2003 rather than
deleting them one by one?

 

Jaws is posing at each blank which is interrupting the flow of
reading.

 

This document was converted from PDF to plain text format and that
what must cause those blanks to appear between the lines.

 

Cheers,

Amro
