Re: [sussex_mug] Stripping Out Carriage Returns

Thunderbird is much better than Mail (IMHO) ... Graham on 28/04/2010 15:17 Gillian Snoxall sent the following: Ranulph, You introduced me to Nisus a year or two ago, and I love it. Much nicer than Word! Do you have any suggestions for an email program other than Mail?

But for those of you looking for a wordprocessor that strips carriage returns, try Nisus. The find and replace is particularly powerful. www.nisus.com There's also a macro (provided) called form paragraph, which will take a chunk of text which has carriage returns, and form it into a paragraph. As column readers will know, Nisus is my favourite wordprocessor. These features are one reason. Ranulph On 28 Apr 2010, at 12:33, Phil Ward wrote: No apology necessary John, not even close!

Some of you may not have noticed that I found a nice little utility that does the job: http://mailsteward.com/wordwrapper/ Nice thing is that it will process a text file that's on the system clipboard. So I can copy a block from Word, "wordwrap" the clipboard and paste cleaned-up text into Indesign. Easily worth $15.

I know it works in Quark and Word but the phraseology is different for different apps.

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.
