I need help with text wrap...
 

Would someone assist me in fixing the text wrap issue I am having when I bring in epub file converted from PDF using Calibre. For example, here is a sample:

text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text te
xt text text text text text t
ext text text

If you notice the text are broke apart at the right margin. Is there a way to fix this for efficiently without having to use the backspace keys?

I hope this makes sense. skammer1974

You most likely didn't activate the Heuristisc Processing options (Heuristic Processing > Enable heuristic Processing), which are by default disabled. Try to convert the .pdf file again with all Heuristic options enabled.

This should take care of some of the issues.

Also learn the basics of RegEx S&R. That will help.

Converting a document from PDF is the WORST case scenario. It will take a lot of elbow grease to fix the document after conversion.

I personally use these two Regexes to help combine broken paragraphs:

Search #1:

Replace #1: (empty)

Search #2:

Replace #2: (a space is following the 1)

Search #1 will take a line that ends with a hyphen, erase the hyphen, and combine it with the next line (you may/may not want to keep the hyphen, I replace one at a time to make sure the hyphen is not needed).

Search #2 will look for a paragraph NOT ending with any of the characters in red, and will combine it with the next paragraph.

For cleaning up directly from calibre's output you may need to use these Regexes for search instead:
