I'll start us off with a quick fix for those e-mails that you're copying somewhere else which have line breaks in the middle of sentences, like this:This is an e-mail sent by myself to
yourself and so in light of this I'd like to
say to you that you are you and I am I
and this is definitely an e-mail, I think.
whereas we'd like it to be:
This is an e-mail sent by myself to yourself and so in light of this I'd like to
say to you that you are you and I am I and this is definitely an e-mail, I think.
How to do this
Copy the text you want to reformat into Word (it's easiest because of the paragraph codes).
Select all the text.
Go to Edit > Replace (Ctrl-H)
Type ^P^P into the Find box.
Type ::foo:: into the Replace box.
Replace All.
(the above step lets us recover any REAL paragraph breaks later on)
Go to Edit > Replace again.
Type ^P into the Find box.
Type nothing into the Replace box (delete whatever's there).
Replace All.
(this step strips the redundant line breaks from the end)
Go to Edit > Replace again.
Type ::foo:: into the Find box.
Type ^P^P into the Replace Box.
Replace All.
(this returns the real paragraph breaks)
And you should be rockin' with a document with naturally flowing text, with paragraph structure retained. Obviously if the text has larger pieces where there are multiple line breaks (i.e. ^P^P^P^P^P), this will be affected. But normally this isn't much of a factor. (::foo:: is used primarily because it doesn't normally occur in documents. You can conjur up anything of your choosing)
Enjoy!
