  .Replacement.Text = " "
  .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
before the line:
.Text = "([ ])[ ]{1,}"

Do you really want to delete all spaces and punctuation marks? That would give you text like:
Doyoureallywanttodeleteallspacesandpunctuationmark sThatwouldgiveyoutextlike

thank you Paul.

You are right. i don't need to delete the spaces! i meant that i needed to delete all other marks except the spaces!

the reason i need this is that:

i save the pdf articles that i read by giving them the title of the article and the name of the author. As you know, as i copy and paste them from pdf file to the Word document, i got them separated in many paragraphs.

Also Windows is very sensitive if we include certain punctuation marks in the name of the file!!!!

this is why i need to combine all paragraph in one paragraph and to get rid of all punctuation marks!!!

i was doing these steps manually before you provide me with the Macro that combines paragraph.

regards

Jamal
