Default Can I fix this email in Word?

I get an email like this
>>
Original etc etc
>>
>>
>>The
>>
>>Cow
>>
>>


>>Jump
>over
>>
>>
the
>>moon

How can I fix a messed up email like this before I send it on to the next person so they don't think I'm stupid. In the pass I took 5 or 10 minutes and hand did this but now I have a long one. So I will copy and paste this email to Word so how can I fix it and then copy it back to be email to the next person.

Work with a copy. Try the AutoFormat feature. See if it helps.

I put it in Word and got rid of the > with find and replace but Because this email was formatted to have a space between each line giving me data on every other line this doesn't work because Word is treating the space as data. I thought there might be a way. The Find and Replace should work but I can't find a way. If only I could enter a find of nothing except the blink line and replace it with a delete. Pretty complicated stuff and I'm not sure how many people know how to do this but there must be a way.

You can delete an end of paragraph mark by replacing ^p with nothing.
You can delete a line break by replacing ^l with nothing.

Again, work with a copy.

Did you try AutoFormat?
