Trick to remove Blank lines in Text

1. copy the content to MS Word

2. Find: ^p^p

Replace: ^p

FYI: If we have complex blank lines the below procedure can help

There may be spaces and tabs that interfere with a normal ^p^p find/replace operation. If tabs and double spaces are not required by the other entries, I suggest this:

Find: ^t

Replace: (space)

Find: (space)(space)

Replace: (space)

(and do this until the find count is 0; remember to save the document every time)

Find: ^l

Replace: ^p

Find: ^p(space)

Replace: ^p

(do this until the find count is 0)

Find: (space)^p

Replace: ^p

(do this until the find count is 0)

Find: ^p^p

Replace: ^p

(do this until you're happy with the result)
