Dear All,
I am copying (making a summary) out a pdf file, which uses a smaller line width than the word file where I paste it in. I estimate to make about 200 of these actions, and if I cant automatically erase the enters at the end of each paste, I estimate that it requires on average another 3 edits per paste.
Perhaps I have missed an option in the word formatting, but I cant figure it out.
Please see attached for an example.
Appreciate the help!!

@wumolad Thanks for your reply.
"You can save yourself the stress of making the edits by copying all the contents."
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 ¶, 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.)
