Hi Sue,
What you want to put in the replace box is space a That way the
paragraph mark will be replaced by a space instead. And just to be ultra
clear you hit the space bar and then type a lower case letter a Is that
clearer? Sorry to confuse.

I do not understand the "replace with" box. It said a)
Is that correct?

Extremely interesting. Thank you. This seems far easier than some
systems I have heard folks use.

HI E.
Here's the pertinent part of that note.
The character string that denotes a paragraph mark in K1000 is
\n.
Very often text is OCRed with extra paragraph marks in it. You can do a
find and replace to get rid of these. For each letter of the alphabet,
you
can do the following:
In the find box of the find and replace dialogue type \na (that is back
slash, n a)
You want to make sure to pay attention to case sensitivity.
In the replace box type (space a).
This will join lines of text that OCRed into two paragraphs that shouldn't
have been separate paragraphs.
Make sure to use lower case letters or you'll trash all paragraph marks
and
be in a world of curses!
I do this with every letter of the alphabet in lower case.
Also, very often dialogue gets condensed into one paragraph where it
shouldn't be.
You can search for " " (quotation mark, space, quotation mark) and replace
with "\n" that is (quotation mark, backslash n, quotation mark). This will
separate dialogue that didn't get separated by the OCR process.
