Re: Converting .txt to .doc - line widths

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I think that's easy. I've done it this way:

Insert all the documents. Then use Find/Replace
Find the double-spacing between the paragraphs -- ^p^p
highlight it

find ^p
replace with a space

find the ^p^p that is highlighted
replace with ^p

I have about 500 pages of .txt documents that I want to convert to
Word documents.

The problem is that the lines in the .txt docs are much shorter than
they would be in the final Word documents, obviously because the
author has made them that way as there is an "Enter" at the end of
each line.

Is there any way of converting the line length to standard A4 page
width?

The author has also put a blank line between each paragraph so I have
tried replacing "double space" with "single space" but thta didn't
work.

Thanks for any help anyone can give
.
