How do I delete blank lines in Word?

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

If the "blank lines" are empty paragraphs, you can select and delete them
(display nonprinting characters to make this easier). If the space is
created by Spacing Before/After (Format | Paragraph), then you need to
remove that.

 

[Stefan Blom]

Press Ctrl+Shift+8 to display nonprinting marks. If your blank lines
consist of empty paragraph marks (¶), then you can use Find and
Replace:

1. On the Edit menu, click Replace.

2. Find what: ^p^p
Replace with: ^p

3. Click Replace All.
