Try M-g (fill-region)

fill-region:
Fill each of the paragraphs in the region.
Prefix arg (non-nil third arg, if called from program)
means justify as well.


Also, try M-x fill-individual-paragraphs :

fill-individual-paragraphs:
Fill each paragraph in region according to its individual fill prefix.
Calling from a program, pass range to fill as first two arguments.
Optional third and fourth arguments JUSTIFY-FLAG and MAIL-FLAG:
JUSTIFY-FLAG to justify paragraphs (prefix arg),
MAIL-FLAG for a mail message, i. e. don't fill header lines.
