Replace a random character with the same character

Hi Paul. Thanks for the fast reply.
Sorry, not that. I had already tried that macro, but it cleans all the text, and turns it into a single block.
I need cleaning only the ones marked in red.
I attached an example text here so you can see exactly what I need.
One way I just thought of is a macro going letter by letter for all the alphabet.

But I'm totally illiterate in VBA. If you could give me a macro for letter "a", and instructions on how to do it, I could fill in the rest of the alphabet.

Thanks a lot
Rick

Evidently, then, you hadn't applied the one stricture the post says the code requires - that the text contains two paragraph breaks to differentiate the logical paragraphs from the physical ones.
