Hi everyone,
I'm trying to copy text from some PDF to Word 2013 but the lines keep cut off abruptly. If the there's an end-of-line in the middle of a sentence, it would just understand it as a new paragraph when copied over to Word. Effectively, breaking a paragraph into a few small ones. I'm trying to see if there's anyway I can find these sentences and fix them.

Like, for example, if it finds a new paragraph starting with a lower-case character, it would just append that paragraph to the previous one. Can I do something like that?

Thank you. It was quite q while ago. But the macro also mistakes separate paragraphs as one. For example, if there is a ^p (paragraph break) character followed by a capital letter (which should be recognized as a new paragraph), it adds these two paragraphs together. Is there a better way to solve this?

It makes no such mistake. As clearly stated in the post, it requires that you have two paragraph breaks between the logical paragraphs; other than that - or inserting some other kind of identifying marker - there is no other reliable way of identifying where a given paragraph ends. That might entail adding an extra paragraph manually, where required, but that's trivial compared to the effort the macro potentially saves you.

Your suggestion of using a paragraph break followed by a capital letter isn't reliable, as:
a) sentences within a multi-line paragraph can start on a new line; and
b) sub-paragraphs (such as this one), which are separate paragraphs formatting-wise, don't always start with capital letters; they may also start with lower-case letters, bullets, numbers or opening parentheses, for example.
