If you do this frequently, take a look at ScanSoft PDFConverter at
http://www.scansoft.com/pdfconverter/standard/. Might be worth the
$49.99.

Hello TWers,

Question:

In MS Word, is there a way to do a search and replace for a "return"?
It seems funny that you can use other non-characters such as spaces but
you cannot use a return. I even tried turning my editor's marks on and
cutting and pasting the return into the search box (this did not work
either).

I am trying to format text that was extracted from a PDF into Word. The
text comes into Word with returns about half way through each sentence
and I am trying to find a way to fix that without having to go in and do
it manually. Anyone have a suggestion as to a better way of doing this?

Thanks much!

Chad
