Brandon,
Sounds like you need to adjust Kurzweil to do the recognition in a way that
results in fewer line breaks. Otherwise you'll need to do some heavy editing
in MS-Word to remove excess spaces and line breaks using search/edit, and
that's really not germane to this list.

Awesome! so here is the big guy... Does anyone have any idea of how to get
rid of the mile long line breaks either with jaws, word or Kurzweil?
I would like to be able to arrow through the script with the up and down
arrow keys with out always hearing "blank" after every one or two down
strokes. I would like the words to be on different lines, but not 3 to 20
lines away from each other.
like:
ME
Without a line break everything is shorter to read
YOU
sure it is...
ME
Yep, it's a breeze!
Thank you,
Brandon Keith
