How do I remove returns from each line in word?

How do I remove returns from each line in word so I can convert my doc into a
text file to import it in ACT or Excel? I need to remove returns from all
lines and can't figure it out.

The return, usually a paragraph mark, can be found using Find/Replace by
using ^p in the Find field.

I'm trying to visualize what you're doing, and it's hard to imagine why
you'd want to delete _all_ of the returns. That would leave you without any
record separators. But, assuming that's what you want to do, ^p will do it.

Note: if your file uses line breaks instead of paragrah marks, you would
match those using ^l or ^11.
