With a macro you can twist around functions of Word .

In a search and replace, Word recognizes the difference between simple and double paragraph marks. Knowing this eases the process. First, do a 'find and replace' search from the edit menu, find a special character that does not exit in your text like 'column break'.(It's under the 'More' and then 'Special' tabs) Do a replace 'double paragraph marks' with that particular character. Then erase every 'simple paragraph marks'.(That's replace with nothing) Then come back and switch that special character to 'simple paragraph mark'.

When you record your Macro from the 'Tools' menu, all that can be added to the text formating part.
