This sounds stupid, I realize, but what do people mean when they say replace
with nothing??  What I mean is, do you just ignore the "replace" box, or is
there a symbol that indicates nothing?

Hi list.  I'll just add that to do a similar thing with Word, or at least
Word 2000, search for ^l to find the line breaks.  One really easy way to
fix split words is to go into the find and replace dialogue with Alt, E,
E.  Search for the following in the find edit box:

-^l

Replace with nothing.  Instantly your split words are gone.  This also
takes out the line break, so you might have lines with only one or two
words on them.  I don't have a good way to solve that.  Also make sure you
do a spell check because some compound words that should be hyphenated will
need to have the dash put back in, like "twentyone" instead of "twenty-one."
