In WORD or EXCEL, How can I convert an address list of records with multiple-lines (ie. address fields separated by paragraph marks) into a list of single-line records (ie 1 address record per line)?
 
If I'm understanding you correctly, for Excel remove the Wrap Text for each column. Format, Cell, Alignment, remove the wrap text check.

In Word you may have to get creative and do a find and replace. If there are double returns ^p^p after the end of an address you problem should replace all of those first replacing those with a unique character like the bar "|". Then replace the single return ^p with a space. This will put your address in a single line. Now you need to replace the bar "|" with double ^p^p to separate each address.

I hope this help.
