Merge paragraphs, lines.

Solved

Hello,
I would like to have my text in one block
I retrieved my text from a PDF and put it in Word and at the end of each line, I have the paragraph marker and it goes to the next line (removing the paragraph marker, I know how to do, but removing the fact that it jumps a line, I don’t know how to do it for all the text in one single action)
The only action I know how to do is to go to the end of the line and manually delete each paragraph marker to have my text in one single line

I have justified my text

In short, I want to remove all these line breaks to have just one block, and I don’t know how to do that.
Thank you
Best regards

    Command "Find, Replace, Go To": for Word 2008
    1) choose paragraphs to merge
    2) press "Ctrl + F"
    3) find: ^p
    4) "Search In" button: choose "Current Selection"
    5) in the "Replace" tab - "Replace with" line - press the "space" key
    6) click "Replace All"

    Hello,

    Try selecting all your text and going to Format, Paragraph, Before spacing... After spacing to set them to 0.

    See you later

      Your thing isn't working, at least not on Word 2010.

    Response found on the website
    "
    To remove all empty lines at once from a file, I suggest downloading Notepad2

    https://www.01net.com/

    Just go to Edit > Block > Remove blank Lines"

    And it works!

    Thanks to everyone

    Good evening,

    It's funny to go look in NotePad for what Word has had for a long time...

    Edit menu, replace:
    Find: ^l
    Replace with nothing

      Well no, it's not working...
      Is it really "circumflex accent" and "l"?
      I also tried uppercase i and the vertical bar.
      It's still not working.
