removing double spacing...

[RAB]

Hello,

I have a long list of words, illustrated below:

word1

word2

word3

word4
......
etc.


I want to revove the double spacing as follows:


word1
word2
word3
word4
.....
etc.


Is there a way to do this using the 'replace' dialog box in word? If
so, would you please share the steps?

Thanks,
RABMissouri

If the extra spacing is from extraneous paragraphs then your could use:

Edit>Teplace
Find: ^13^13
Replace with: ^p

If it is due to space before or space after paragraph formatting then
redefined the format.

Those steps didn't work for my example above. I believe the unwanted
line space is due to a 'line break'. Is there anything else I could
try?

Thanks,

RAB,

Line breaks can be found with ^l

So to find two line breaks and replace with one paragraph use:

^l^l

and

^p
