[bksvol-discuss] Could someone with Microsoft Word help me out with a line break problem?

I recently finished proofreading The Problem Body, but it was placed back into the queue by Bookshare because the person who scanned it did so in such a way that there was a line break at the end of each line, so each line was its own paragraph. Microsoft Word would be able to remove all these line breaks with a search and replace for ^l, but my trial version of Microsoft Word ran out long ago, and the word processor I'm using now (Jarte) doesn't seem to be able to handle line breaks a search-and-replace command.


Bookshare said I could contact the original scanner and ask them to scan it over again, but I think that would be a waste of the time we've both already spent on this book. I'd like to salvage it if possible. Could someone with Word run the search and replace for me? (Alternatively, if you have any suggestions as to shareware word processors that have that functionality...)
