I have a document with paragraph breaks at the end of each line.

I tried to use find/replace to replace each paragraph break with a space,
but was unsuccessful.

How do I replace paragraph breaks (and the line break character also) with a
space?

It helps to know what your unsuccessful attempt consisted of.

In the Search/Replace dialog, click the More button. At the bottom of the
expanded dialog you'll see a button marked "Special". Paragraph marks are
one of the special codes it allows you to work with (the code in this case
is ^p).

Don,

Put ^13 in the find field and a space (tap on the space
bar in the replace field. Then use replace all.

Put ^l (that is a lower case L) in the find field and use
replace all again.
