I don't want word (to pay for it OR to have it cluttering my hard disk) so I found an alternative.
The problem is you have to use multiple steps since you want get RID Of LB's but want to KEEP LBLB's (double line breaks)
I use notepad++
CTRL H to bring up replace.
First pass
replace the DESIRED LBLB to something else
from: \r\n\r\n (be sure to dot EXTENDED below)
To: DOUBLEBREAK (or anything else not likely to appear in your text)
run it
now run this
from: \r\n
to: Nothing (literally nothing leave it blank)
there all the LB's are now deleted
now run this
From: DOUBLEBREAK
to: \r\n\r\n
there you go. All done. I am still working on a way to automate this somehow into a macro or something.
These are coming from PDF so I use office convert to convert them to RTF I open in word pad and use file save to reduce file size (have not tried to skip this step yet)
then open in notepad++ and run those replacement routines save as text file. Works a treat.
I will try saving as RTF too see if it makes any difference in size or anything like that.
