Hi, Kasondra. Try selecting the hyphen and the line break, pasting it into the find and replace and replacing it with nothing. See if that helps. Take care.

The problem is that the find and replace didn't recognize the hyphens at the end of the lines. The book is about a thousand pages. What are my options? Remember that my kids and husband would like to eat once in a while. Kasondra Payne -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
