This I already know. What I don't know is how to speedily arrange hundreds of lines this way. Even to go through and change every other end-of-line from ^l to ^p over hundreds of pages would be extremely tedious and time-consuming (and doesn't help with poems that come in groups of three lines, each with a different indent or other, more complex, patterns). Which is why I want help writing a macro as described - once I have the simple case - every other line - I'll be able to modify it myself for the more complicated cases.
