MS Word Find & Replace -- Weirdly formatted document?

I have a really long document (200+ pages) that has odd formatting, which includes sentences that are cut off in the middle (with "enter" or "return" so that the second half of the sentence is underneath the first part). All of these sentences are arranged by paragraphs, as they should be. It's pretty much like that throughout the file.





I know how to find and replace the "enter" part (Find: ^p Replace: *I type in one space*) but I still want to keep the paragraphs that are formed. If I do the above mentioned find and replace and chose "replace all", the document turns into one long continuous paragraph.





My question is pretty much this: Is there any way I can find and replace the "enter" without losing the paragraphs that are already formed in the document? I know that I can find and replace in a specific selection (each paragraph), but I don't want to go through 200 pages of paragraphs and doing a find and replace for each paragraph.





Thanks in advance for any replies.

If the formed paragraph separated by additional line? You will be able to do the global find and replace only if you have any format difference between the sentences and paragraph. If there is a list a line between real paragraphs, then you will be able to fine the real paragraphs replaced them with another special characters string, then replace all the enters between sentences then revert the real paragraph back to normal. The key is the line separation.
Reply:Sounds like you did something odd with the format paragraph function





As a very last resort, select all text and remove formatting -- one of the drop-down menu options in upper left corner. this will remove ALL formatting. As an experiment, do a little piece and see what it looks like and what you'd have to do to get desired results.
