Peter, if they are paragraph marks, can you do a search and replace, and change them all automatically into, for example, a space?

I am copying from a source into word on a regular basis and continually find what I think are numerous paragraph breaks mid-sentence in the pasted material. How can I quickly remove these without having to go through the text manually? Thanks for any suggestions. Peter Bentley
