Default Eliminate paragraph breaks

Hi! I am looking for a macro that will eliminate paragraph designations from some text. For example:

Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
Playing in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo' face, you big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place

Singing
We will we will rock you


We will we will rock you

Would appear after the script was run as:

Buddy you're a boy make a big noise Playing in the street gonna be a big man some day You got mud on yo' face, you big disgrace Kicking your can all over the place Singing We will we will rock you We will we will rock you

Thanks for the insight!

Cheers!

Try using Find and Replace:

1)
Find ^p^p - this is the symbol for a paragraph marker (^p)
Replace **

Replace all

2)
Find ^p
Replace [SPACE]

Replace all

3)
Find **
Replace ^p^p

Replace all


If you record the steps by going to Tools > Macro > New, then you will have created your own Macro!
