Hi Lori,

        What you do confuses me on a single read through.  If it works,
that's terrific.  I personally put the paragraph mark followed by each lower
case letter in the find box, and in the replace box I put a space followed
by that same lower case letter.  My thinking is exactly the opposite of
yours, but achieves the same thing.  My thinking is that a paragraph never
begins with a lower case letter, therefore, if I replace all instances of a
paragraph mark followed by a lower case letter with a space followed by that
same lower case letter, then I'll unite broken up paragraphs.  My only
concern with your way of doing things is that punctuation doesn't always
scan and paragraphs may be united instead of broken using your method in
cases where two paragraphs should have existed, but the final punctuation
mark in a paragraph was not OCRed.  But if it works, more power to you.  

There are always more than one way of achieving the same goal.  And it's
great to share them as no one way works comfortably for everyone.  If we
share differing ways of doing things, then more people may find a
comfortable way of cleaning up books.

So, thanks for sharing your way of getting rid of extra paragraph marks in
books!

I just emptied my deleted items folder, so I no longer have Mayrie's last
message.

But I think she said to put the letter before the line break or paragraph
break character.  At least, this is what I do.

A paragraph is probably never going to end with a letter; therefore, a
letter followed by a ^p in the search side of the search and replace box
replaced by that letter and a space in the replace side will remove the
inappropriate paragraph break.
