Removing unwanted paragraph marks after copy/paste

As well as Doug's link consider using Paste Special / unformatted text.

If the text you are pasting is not too long and not too intricately formatted it is a good idea to paste unformatted. Doing this prevents styles associated with the pasted material being added to your document. The extra styles are just unneeded complexity in your document.

See the article "Cleaning up text pasted from the Web” at:

Often after copy/pasting into Word, I find that there is an unwanted paragraph mark at the end of every line. This creates a document with many different line lengths. How do I remove all the marks so I can format the way I want?

Thanks for any help,
