[QUOTE=Ea;551462][QUOTE=HarryT;551376]What's even more insidious is when OCR is combined with a spell checker, and a "mangled" word has been replaced by another word, which "fits in" to the sentence, and yet is totally wrong.

Yikes! That is bad. It's hard to spot words that the spell checker doesn't catch.


But if you had a text where you want to remove single line breaks and replace double empty lines with true paragraph breaks - can you do that?
(I know there's some difference between line break and paragraph break, but I haven't looked into it, so I might be missing some information)
In MS Word they call them "Manual line break" and "Paragraph mark". Look in the "Find and Replace" window (from the "Edit" pulldown menu), click "More", then click "Special" to see what you can "find" and "replace".

There is also a "Show/Hide"button to allow you to see the various formating symbols. You can they see the difference between these two marks.

Maybe this will help or maybe I totally missed the problem.
