wanted a Macro that removes all returns frrom text file

by davidaharon May 7, 2007 11:55PM PDT

Has anybody got a macro to quicky remove all single line returns from a converted Notepad /Wordpad file to a nice format ...It should also check for double retturns and not remove those as they the end of a paragrah

I'm still using Word 97 and Windows 98

Also I need a good PDF to Word converter that gives a good looking after conversion and will allow you to convert the whole document during the trial period .... even if you have to do 5 pages at a time...

I find it rediculous to be able to convert ONLY the first 5 pages of a 60 page document and nothing else during their 15 day trial period.

i did find a good Program that converts a PDF to text format. but it makes 100 files for a 100 page document.

So maybe a second macro might be needed to tell Word to bring in all the text files you select to your document

Any ideas

email all ideas and macro files via attached file to david_aharon@yahoo.ca

Odd. "rediculous"

This is common in demos. If I didn't put such restrictions in demos then I would never get a sale. And without a sale I would rather not write such software in the first place.

Your request for software that does what you want without payment seems a little odd to me. Let's turn this around. What will you do in return for free software?

Deleting returns.

Can be done with Edit>Replace, in Word. Did you try that (replace this special character with nothing).
