Hi Phil

Try setting word to show the formatting elements, so that the carriage return shows up as a character, then copy it, go to find/replace and paste the carriage return into the find box, leave the replace box blank and click replace all.

Regards

Sam

All,

Does anybody know of an application that will strip out unnecessary carriage returns in a Word (or rtf or text) document. A translator has supplied me some copy in which they've inserted lots of unnecessary carriage returns, presumably in order to make the column width look like the finished document layout. Of course it's now a painful nightmare to drop the new text into InDesign.
