As a long-time Word victim I used to do a trio of search and replace
operations, first translating pairs of carriage-returns (CR) into a
hopefully unique string, then replacing all remaining CR's with a space,
then finally replacing the unique string with a CR to give me back my
paragraphs.  Had it down to a fine art, at least for small docs.

Now I use Emacs at both ends, Gnu on the UNIX machines and micro-Emacs
on the Mac, and remove the CR whichever end I remember I need to do it.
Micro-Emacs came over the net a few months ago (version 3.8).

Works for me.
