Is there anyway to make MS-WORD
strip out all the carriage return at the end of each line, and replace them
witha space. I would need to do this, so that for one th

documents. There are other reasons, but that would be the main one.


Nuno, I use MS Word 4, but to do the little job you asked about, I use McSink,
a DA that seems to be a 'netters dream.  Then I use Word to do the final
formatting and printing, although McSink could do most of what I want.  I have
a few glossary items and standard footers etc, that Word handlse easily for me.
I have done some of what you want in Word:  (1) change all ^p^p (double
returns) to )*(
(2) change all ^p  (single returns) to [space]
(3) change )*( to ^p^p (double returns)

The troubles begin when you find that there are some of:
^p[space][space]^p  which will become [space][space][space][space]
Not at all what you intended.  Generally, McSink is much more graceful handling
these formatting problems.  I recommend it.
