all messy, with line breaks everywhere.
Is there some tool that can reformat text ?
Maybe remove line breaks gracyfully ? (while retaining the 'right' breaks, for instance when " " are used)

thanks,

I have used =X='s (is that sig. right?) Word maco and it is absolutely excellent for removing hard carriage returns in texts. It's called BookCreator Tool and is a Word macro, so you need Word.

Again, this is an incredible tool.

Here's the link:

1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example:
“Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked.
“Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed.
The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.
