First, search for all instances of the period with the paragraph, replacing
them with a string of characters than cannot possibly occur in the document,
such as qwertyu or even a colorful word of your own invention. Then replace
all other paragraphs with a space. Then replace all double spaces with
single spaces. Finally, replace your temporary string with a paragraph.
Should take about a minute.

Subject: [duxuser] Removing paragraph markers
Hello All:
I make a number of copies of a weekly newspaper produced by the Archdiocese
of the Catholic Church in Trinidad and Tobago but the last formatted edition
sent to me contained a virus which my computer promptly quarantined. The
paper was then sent to me in the message box of an e-mail and the contents
of the paper were saved as a Word document.
I need to delete the paragraph markers which appear between two words but
leave those paragraph markers which occur after a period. With a short
document I can do this by using the control and cursor keys and delete the
unwanted symbol. This document, however, will probably take up about 120
Braille pages and I would like some suggestions as to how I can leave
paragraph markers after a period (full stop) but delete those between words
where no period exists. Please, may I have suggestions on how to use the
find and replace commands to fix both problems.
I would appreciate any help.
Francis Khan
