13 is, believe it or not, a carriage return.

 

Do you want to send me the file off list and I'll try to positively
identify what it is in your case?  george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

OK George and Guy. I think we're going somewhere with this. Apparently
the offending character is(character 13) whatever that is. Jaws says
character 13 when I press the Jaws key with comma three times on the
blanks. So do you know what character 13 is? How to type it in the
replace dialog to remove it?

 

Replacing double space and ^p^p with single space did not get rid of
the blanks unfortunately.

 

Cheers,

Amro

        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
