Hi,

I have a very big word document, but it has a lot of lines without any text, are just empty.
Is there a way to delete those lines without doing it manually? It would take me ages to do it manually.

Thanks.
 
Take a look at Edit > Replace, chosing the [More] button and then Special.

I think you'd want to replace two successive paragraph markers by one, that is ^p^p to ^p. Or some variant.

It worked just fine :)
Thanks for the help. I would take some time to get there.
