Great. I picked it up, though not as quickly as I would have liked.
Basically, that night, I went right to sleep. I'm enjoying Seduced by
Shadows. It is nice and dark. And I love Sera's empathy. I am training to
be a therapist, so I relate.
Take care,
Lisa

The instructions are below. If ^l doesn't work, try ^p instead.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Exclusions with Wild Cards
It takes three steps. What you'll do is first protect all the instances
where a page number is followed by a line break. That will work as the way
to exclude those line breaks from getting eaten.
Then, you'll do your step that you already know how to do to remove all the
line breaks followed by a lower case letter.
Finally, you'll put back in all the line breaks that follow a page number.
First, though, save a copy of your file just in case this does something
unexpected or plain wrong.
Step 1: Protect the line break that follows a page number
In Word's search and replace, make sure you have the option to "use
wildcards" checked.
Find: ([0-9])^l
that is, left-parentheses left-square-bracket zero hyphen nine
right-square-bracket right-parentheses caret one
Replace: \1###
that is backslash one pound-sign pound-sign pound-sign
Replace all
step 2: Remove all the line breaks followed by a lower case letter
Find: ^l([a-z])
that is caret lower-case-l left-parentheses left-square-bracket lower-case-a
hyphen lower-case-z right-square-bracket right-parentheses
Replace: \1
that is space backslash one
Replace all
Step 3: Put back in your line breaks after each page number
unclick the "use wildcards"
Find: ###
that is pound-sign pound-sign pound-sign
Replace: ^l
that is caret lower-case-l

hello everyone. i was wondering about the paragraph breaks instructions that
someone had sent out to the list yesterday. and I was wondering where about
could I receve them? so I can add them into my instructions manual that I
already have. and I was wondering why those steps weren't listed in the
reference manual that I have. and can someone please tell me how I would do
the line breaks part? because there is a step in the manual that I have that
says remove all line breaks or paragraph markers. and I really don't
understand how to do that particular part. would someone please be willing
to explain those 2 things to me? if so I would grately appreciate this.
thank you.
