Copy from PDF into Word, automatic format
- It is because you are copying from another application. It converts the end of each line as a paragraph mark.
You can save yourself the stress of making the edits by copying all the contents. Select all the affected lines and replace paragraph marks with space.

I am not sure what you mean here. I only copy some select parts out of a 1500page doc manually.
"paragraph marks with space."
I am kinda struggling to do this. I am working in 'Find and Replace' now, managed to use 'Special' to insert the paragraph sign, but cant replace it with a space.
Any advise for this?
Thanks!Aminam20 Do not use the symbol ΒΆ, because that isn't the paragraph mark you see when displaying nonprinting characters. In the Find/Replace dialog, use the code ^p to represent the paragraph mark. (In the list from the Special button, use "Paragraph Mark" and not "Paragraph Character", which will insert the ^p in the dialog's box, or you can just type ^p in the box.)
