I've been working on a very large project and part of it involves converting some court documents into editable Word Documents (RTF files).

I've seen and read "Cleaning up Text Pasted from Websites, E-mails, PDFs etc"
https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...-pdfs-etc.html but found that hasn't helped.

I've never had problems like this in OCR-ing PDFs ever. If someone can take a look at the attached and point me in the direction of somewhere that explains how I can try and automate the process a bit to clean up the Word Docs I would be really grateful.

I've attached the Word Docs as .docx files, but the ones I am working with are RTF files. Unfortunately the file uploader doesn't allow for these files to be uploaded.



I've tried removing column and section breaks and selecting everything and pressing Control + Spacebar, which are tricks I've been taught in the past. But it is still looking like the dog's breakfast in my Word Doc.
