I assume you're using word. ^p will search for paragraph marks. Assuming that there are no spaces on the blank lines use ^p^p in find and ^p in replace. Repeat until all gone.

Yes - what you want to remove are paragraph marks. You can do this by choosing Edit/Replace and under �find what� click on the �Special� button and choose Paragraph Marks. You should leave �Replace With� blank. Remember that if you delete them ALL from your document you will have no paragraphs at all. If you put three �Paragraph Marks� in the �find what� section it will take all the excess ones out but leave double (i.e., paragraph) ones in - if this is what you want to do. Hope this works 8-) Joan On Sun, 7 Dec 1997 20:58:48 -0500, "frank" <united4@mail.idt.net> wrote: >is their a way to remove blank lines from a work document >i have a document of 2000 lines and i have blank lines that i dont want to >print >is thair a way to delete them with find and replace or by wiriting a vba >script > > >thank in advance > >

Assuming that the lines with text before the blank lines end in full stops, try using 'Find and Replace' for a full stop followed by two return markers (that is, .^p^p) and replace with a stop followed by one (.^p) If you keep running this until it doesn't find any more. frank wrote in message <66fkd5$680@nnrp1.farm.idt.net>... >is their a way to remove blank lines from a work document >i have a document of 2000 lines and i have blank lines that i dont want to >print >is thair a way to delete them with find and replace or by wiriting a vba >script > > >thank in advance > >
