then make it single-space. Presumably, the document is not for public
presentation, else why remove the paragraph breaks.

Good luck. If the document is formatted double space, then you will
need to
go into the format menu to change things.

Open the Find and Replace menu with control-h. Route the Jaws cursor
to
the
PC cursor. Go to the bottom line with the end key and then press
home to
move the cursor to the bottom line. Use insert-right arrow to move
across
the line a word at a time. The first word should be "more." Left
click
on
that word with the slash on the numeric keypad.. Press home and move
to
the
right again with insert-right arrow. The first word should be
"format,"
and
the next word should be "special." Left click on "special" with the
slash
on the numeric keypad. The first word in the list should be
"paragraph
mark," the word that Microsoft uses for a hard return. After
clicking,
use
insert-right arrow to "replace." I usually replace the paragraph
mark
with
a space to prevent the word at the end of one line coming together
with
the
word at the beginning of the next line. Then press alt-a to replace
all
occurrences of the word. Then press OK. Then exit the Find and
Replace
menu with escape. If you are using two lines to mark a paragraph,
then
you
will have to be creative in preventing eliminating the double lines.
Reply
to me offline if you want my way of doing that, which is by no means
sacred.

Hi All,
I am running XPSP3 Pro, J13 latest, & Office 2002. I have an 85 page
Word
document that could probably be cut down to half this size if I could
delete
all the blank lines. Is there a way to delete the blank lines only?
All
help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks much, take care.
Mike
