When I cut and paste from an email into Word, I get line returns at the end of each line. I'd like to get rid of those...and have been able until now.
In the past I've replaced the line return by clicking Find, entering ^p, selecting Replace and entering a word space. And that did it. But none of this works now. Are there new formatting symbols? Am I doing it wrong? Am I missing something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are two kinds of "line-enders".
^p will get "paragraph marks" (Windows-style carriage-return and line-feed
combinations, encoded as 0D, 0A in hexadecimal).
Unix (Mac OS) uses simply Line feed (0A) at the end of a line. Use ^l in
the Find box to get those.
Cheers
