Default Delete blank paragraph below bold, end square bracket

Hello All,



I am using a macro to format a system generated report.

I have reused a previous macro to find a paragraph that is bold and ends with a square bracket. The macro finds the square bracket and applies ‘Paragraph Keep With Next’ and applies ‘Space After’ to the paragraph.
The next paragraph after the end square bracket has a blank paragraph inserted.

How can I add a condition to the macro that moves to the next paragraph down and if the paragraph is blank it is deleted ???

Unfortunately I have to live with many other blank paragraphs, so do not want them all deleted.

Regards,
Dave T

You could just use an ordinary Find/Replace, where:
Find = ]^p^p
Replace = ]^p
No macros required - though you could incorporate the above into a macro if you really need to.

Once again I appreciate your help Paul.

I had seen many, many posts on deleting blank paragraphs using find and replace with wildcards, but hadn't thought the solution would be so simple.
