In Word-speak, a paragraph is defined by that Enter key so a forced line end is actually a new paragraph unless you are using Shift-Enter to go to the next line.

I think you will need to post an example document so we can see how you are ending each 'line' of a paragraph.

Can you explain the point of a macro to re-arrange your content into physical size order? What sort of content makes this a useful tool? It is easy to sort paragraphs in alphabetical order but arranging chunks of text by the number of characters doesn't seem to be useful in any way other than as an academic exercise.
I don't know any of the technical stuff with MS Word, so yeah if I'm misusing terms that's why. I figured I'd just describe the kind of macros I'm going for and see what the experts say about it :]

I have a large number of creative projects that prioritize the most developed entries (big walls of text) at the top and then I work my way down to the lesser ones (smaller walls then eventually single sentences). So it's both faster and easier to have everything big and interesting up top and everything else get smaller and smaller as I go down. I work with thousands of pages and everything eventually becomes a mess of entries of all sizes. So a way to instantly organize bodies of text like that would be a godsend~
