Default Consolidating Sentences into One Paragraph

Hello everyone!

I have an issue that I need to find a solution to. I use Word 2013 for work I do. I am trying to consolidate separate sentences into one paragraph. Can you please help? I will attach pictures of what I am talking about. The left of the pic is what I start with. The right of the pic is the finished result. I literally do hundreds of pages a day by backspacing.

Thank you,


Chris

You can do this via Find/Replace, where:
Find = ^p
Replace = space

For a more sophisticated treatment, see: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...html#post19751

Thank you for your response! It worked however, it literally added the word "space into it. What did I do wrong?

You were meant to add a space character, not the word 'space'...
