It's not a problem with Word at all. It may be a problem with the text file's poor formatting. If the paragraphs have some way of being identified like say a line space then all you do is search/replace for double paragraph ends and replace with something else not in the text. Then fix the line ends and finally replace the orogianl replace with a single line end followed by 4 spaces to denote the beginning of paragraphs.
