Dear Peter,
The only way I can think of achieving what you want is if there is something
in the original text which distinguishes a genuine paragraph break from the
unwanted ones (perhaps two paragraph breaks in succession). If there is no
such distinction I think your best bet is to replace all paragraph breaks
with a space and then insert the ones you want manually (as already
suggested).
On the assumption that the breaks you want to retain are different from the
others you need to replace, you first need to replace that distinctive
sequence (say two paragraph breaks in succession) by some character not
occurring in the text, replace the other breaks with spaces and then replace
the character with paragraph breaks. This works for me when transferring
parts of the .txt magazines received from Talking Newspapers into a word
document. If this does work you can then record it as a Word Macro meaning
that the whole process takes a second or two.
Best wishes and happy New Year,
Robert

Thanks for the suggestion. The draw-back is that this also removes genuine
paragraph marks!

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

Using 2010 but I think this is irrelevant.
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.
