Sure, there are codes for special characters like paragraph marks and manual line breaks. See:

Hi there, Here's something on which I'm hoping someone will have some information. I have a huge file that I got off the net which I need to reformat. It looks something like this. It'll have one line of text that's somewhat long, followedby a line of text that is very short, with a blank next to it, which I'm calling a line break or carriage return. When I manually delete that and add a space, it looks like a regular line of text. This is a file of close to 100 pages, and I'd hate to go through line by line trying to fix it. What I'd like to do is use the search and replace all function in Word and replace all of those hard line breaks. Is there a symbol I can use to type in that will do that, or is there an easier way I can reformat the text? It's annoying, but I'd love to have this better formatted. I'll bet the pages will come down considerably.Jim
