Custom toolbar button for search and replace

Question

Hi. I often create Word documents by pasting content from websites. The clipboard content usually contains many pairs of successive paragraph marks. To save paper when printing I carry out a search and replace in Word by replacing each instance of two paragraph marks with just one paragraph mark. I normally do this several times as there can be instances of five or six consecutive paragraph marks.

Can I make a button for the toolbar to do this for me? I'm using Word 2013.

Thanks for reading. Robert, Australia
