subject: Removing line breaks

 -=> Quoting Chris Clark to All <=-

 CC> breaks, but not the paragrpah breaks.
 It depends on the details of how your original file is
 formatted ;-)
 If your original file has double carraige returns between the
 paragraphs TSE Jr. will simply work. You can read in the file
 and rewrap each paragraph. TSE Jr. distinguishes lines from
 paragraphs using the double CR. In fact in TSE Jr. each line
 ends with a CR/LF but it will use the double occurence to split
 paragraphs when you do a rewrap.
 As for the word processor import it depends on the software you
 have available. WordPerfect will nicely import a text file where
 there is a blank line between paragraphs and get the paragraphs
 correctly most of the time unless your formatting is very odd
 for a paragraphed document. I presume other major WP players
 will do the same thing though most of my experience is with
 WordPerfect ;-)
 If your paragraphs are not separated by blank lines then things
 get trickier ;-)
