here is what my word docs do....

They may be looking at the same thing, but they each h ave very
different interests.
Jenny is
studying it closely. She is telling herself that her interest is
academic, but that might n ot be the
whole story

here is what it should look like: thirty five years old with sandy hair that
just might be starting to thin at the back and a waist that is just a bit
thicker than he would like


I want to fix the entire doc at once

It looks like you're saying you want to replace one text with an
entirely different text ...

Is the first paragraph downloaded from a website?

Is there a paragraph mark at the end of every line?

(What, you don't have Show Non-Printing Characters turned on Ctrl-
Shift-8 ? or at least Show Paragraph Marks, which you turn on in the
Options area?)

If so, do a Find/Replace (Ctrl-H) with ^p (caret-p) in Find What? and
nothing at all -- or type the spacebar once -- in the Replace With
box. Click Replace All.

Hi rfdrj,

Assuming there are varying numbers of space characters between the words, you could use Find/Replace, with:
Find: ([ ])[ ]{1,}
Replace: \1
and check the 'use wildcards' option.
