Gmayor, yes they are paragraphs. Each of the paragraphs or rows only take up about half of a line and go down the whole document. Sometimes the words are on their own and some times they are pressed against other letters or numbers, though they are never pressed together with other letters to make legitimate words like wastrel or wash. It's almost always numbers the words are pressed against like this...

abcd1234WAS or abcd1234WERE

But the paragraphs or rows that only have abcd1234, I need to remove.

Thanks
