wow, thanks for the fast response time.
This is almost exactly what I, i tried it out, and it worked almost perfectly. What happened was i ran it on the entire document, which is several hundred pages long, and it compressed it into one large paragraph. This is an improvement over what i had before, but not the paragraphs that are supposed to exist in the book are gone. Is there any way that I can have word only do that command to paragraphs that start with a lowercase letter? this would work for 99% of the time because formal paragraphs start with an uppercase letter, and there broken paragraphs do not unless the word that appears first in a proper noun or something capitalized. That tiny margin for error really doesnt make any difference to me. If you know some way that i can make that happen, I would be so happy!
Thanks Again!
Andrew
