Thank you so much. It was magic. My client send me the website written text with line breaks for their website. It saved so much time to get text ready to publish on the client website.
Sometimes a paragraph doesn't end with two line breaks, but with one line break plus indentation for the next paragraph, in which case you need to search and replace a little differently. It helps if the format is uniform throughout the document; e.g. an indentation is always a tab, or 5 spaces, etc., making search-and-replace easier. Also, Word needs a built-in feature for this, because I've had to do this countless times myself. Or we could a write a custom procedure with Word VBA to automate this, which would make a good extended cut.
I wouldn't mind seeing a variety of tutorials on Windows, Word or even (web) ASP tips. I know there are tutorials on ASP on the site and I intend on viewing them as well. I have to catch on the Developer series videos first. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for this. When I need to search for hard line breaks I like to search for the end of paragraph and a bullet. Then I just go back and get rid of the bullet. Easy-peasy.
Hi Richard, this is nice, thanks. I have one query and its just the opposite, if you can tell me it will be very helpful. I have a lots of paragraphs and I want to insert a (a hard return) paragraph break or a soft return after exactly 5 words, I mean, the 6th word should start in a new paragraph, how can I do it using find and replace ? I do not know what syntax to put in "find next" so it finds (or so that the cursor goes to the beginning of the 6th word) I do understand that in replace with I will have to enter ^p but my confusion is what should I enter in Find what box to do the above. I know < and right moves the cursor to the beginning of the next word. Thanks
Good ...but It would be better if you took into account viewers whose English Language / American Accent is their second Language, as they may not be able to pick up your American accent as quickly... Regards from an Iraqi living in the Anbar Provence in a remote area

OMG thank you, I've had these line breaks in my document that I didn't know how they even got there and didn't know how to get rid of them!
This was very thorough, simple and effective.

Yeah, I've had to do this too. Obviously you have to adapt to whatever kind of documents you get.

And how exactly do you expect me to compensate for that... talk really slow and bore everyone else?
