[WinPartners] removing carriage returns in Word

[Stephen Dowdy]

Search for:   ^p      for hard return
              ^t      for tab

Replace with nothing

If you want to preserve the double returns (like at the end of a paragraph... what I do is first search for:  ^p^p   and replace with ########

Then replace ^p  with nothing.... then search for ####### and replace with ^p^p     this will preserve the places where you wanted the hard return to end a paragraph.

Subject: [WinPartners] removing carriage returns in Word

I thought I remember a function whereby you can remove all hard/carriage
returns at once throughout your document in MS Word, but I cannot find
that function nor does the Help facility within the program nor online
help tell you how.  Can anyone tell me how to do this?  I thought maybe
by using the ascii code in find and replace but I'm having no luck with
that neither (ascii code for carriage return is said to be decimal 13,
and for line feed/newline is decimal 10).

Thanks in advance for any help.
