Word help - removing carriages 1

[psimon88]

There must be a way to do this.

I have to stitch together two separate pdfs and it's cut and paste hell. In particular, I have to manually remove all of the carriage returns. I wasn't sure if there's some VBA out there to do this.

Any thoughts/hints would be enormously appreciated.

As Skip's FAQ suggests, if you are going to be doing this a lot it would be a good idea to make this a recorded macro. And yes, VBA can certainly do it.

Hey, don't get complicated--carriage returns are ^p. If you choose find/replace and replace all ^p with spaces, all the carriage returns will go away.

Now if you want to save the genuine paragraph beginnings first, replace double carriage returns (^p^p) with some other non-standard character (like ##), replace all the carriage returns, then go back and replace your ## with a double carriage return. It's a three step process.
