My suggestion would be to download a shareware version of Search and Replace
from Funduc (http://www.funduc.com), which could search for extraneous hard
returns in a document and replace them with nothing! This program is not for
the faint of heart, so make sure you have a backup of the important document
somewhere in case you make a mistake. There are other,
easier-to-use-but-less-powerful, search and replace software products out
there. A search of the web would help if you wanted a different product.
Luck,
