THANK YOU.

Well, I don't know if you have line-feed characters, or paragraph characters. Of course, you can regex or S&R them out, but you need to pay attention to what you're doing. For example, if you remove ALL pilcrows (end of paragraph codes), you'll have one giant paragraph. If you have line-feed characters at the end of each line of text, that should not be there, then you can certainly delete those without worrying too much.
However...I would think that if the original document was poetry, then you need those line-feeds or paragraph breaks (they really ought to be para breaks) at the end of each line of the stanzas, right? I'm now a bit confused by what you're saying, because I'd think that you wouldn't, normally, have lines running past the end of the right margin, with poetry. I was thinking of prose, which of course does have this problem.
So...you might want to post a screenshot of what you're trying to do, because if you're creating poetry, then you do not want to remove all the line-ends. I don't want to tell you to do X, and then find out that your intent was Y, if you know what I mean. At the moment, to me, it sounds like two different things--text intended to line-wrap, at the right margin, versus stanzas of poetry, which typically wouldn't.
