Hi,

document which

is line breaked

annoyingly like

line just gets

a couple of

words because

Is there some ways I can select all and remove all line breaks so I get full lenght lines like this?

Thanks guys! I would really appriciete an answer

Edited title from "Help plllllllllzzzz!"

Hi,

Please make your topic titles more informative in the future, instead of "Help plllllllllzzzz!". You can see this by referring to rule 12 of our forum rules.

I have edited your title to reflect on the issue you're experiencing.

Good luck on finding the solution.

Try this:

Turn on the paragraph markers (you don't have to do this just helps me to see them) by clicking the icon that looks kinda like a backward P. Click Edit ... Find ... Choose the Replace tab. In the Find What field type the following ^p That is the shift of the number 6 if you were wondering.... leave the Replace With field blank. In essence you are finding a return or new line marker and replacing it with nothing. This should remove them and allow Word to automatically paginate the document.

If ^p doesn't work, try replacing ^l with blanks.

^p is for paragraph breaks.

^l is for manual line breaks. Manual line breaks are created with Shift+Enter. Generally, when you copy stuff from the web and paste it, Word will recognize these line breaks as manual line breaks.

So, if you view the formatting and see backward P's, use ^p. If you see the Enter arrow key, use ^l.

Wonderful, that changed the document from 209 pages to 76

Thanks!
