Help needed - Word alignment(?) when copying from a different document

[stuckinarubble]

Hi,



I am having a problem but the bad part is I don't know the right words or terminology as to what to call it. Please read on, I will explain with an image.

I am reading from a document using multiple columns, so when I copy and paste the relevant words, I get as shown in the first paragraph.

What I want is that , when I paste or do a simple manipulation(any shortcut?) , I should be able to transform those words neatly into as shown in second paragraph.

Right now, I delete the extra blankspace each time, but I am hoping I can find a better way to do since, I have lots of reading to do for a pdf using multiple columns and concomitantly, lots to copy to a separate word file in a better way.

Thanks in advance!
