Hi Onno Karman,
This was a very usefull advise. Since this is a one time job and is
very easy, why waste time learning and writing a macro?
Thanks and regards,
Madiya

Hi Charlie,
The code for a line break in Word is ^p.
What you should do is the following:
First: click on the Show/Hide symbol (which looks like a backwards P /
paragraph sign and is positioned in the ) or use the shortcut keys
CTRL SHIFT 8
Then open the "Search and Replace" window (shortcut keys: CTRL H).
In the "Find what:" field, enter this:
^p^p
And in the "Replace with:" field, enter:
^p
Then, click on "Replace All" (or first try it out ofcourse, click on
"Find Next", and see what happens, and then click on "replace all")
You will see that all double line breaks have been replaced by a
single line break.
Of course you could write a macro for this, but I think this is a one
time only "thing".
I hope that this has helped you!
Kind regards,
