Does anyone know of a way to reformat an entire document to take out hard returns? I copy stories from the archive and paste them in Word but they end up looking like this:
The Alley Cat had been a neighbourhood institution for
decades, at least so the locals said. And it really
did
have a resident orange tabby cat, now nudging old age,
who
slumbered on a cushion at the back of the restaurant.
Lois
was pretty sure that keeping the cat on the premises
violated some health department rule but no one ever
seemed
to object. Certainly not her."
Then, I spend a lot of time (time taken away from reading) fixing it to look like this:

So, I was hoping someone knew of a way to fix the entire story with one press of a button...
