How do I delete all carriage returns in a word doc?

's Computer Specifications

I have pasted text from a PDF text box and I need to reformat it in word
(remove all the carriage returns). Does anyone have an easy way to remove
all the carriage returns in a document?
Cheers

Hi Bamba,

In the Find/Replace screen, insert ^p in the Find box, with nothing in the Replace box.

I doubt that you want to remove *all* of them. See
