FORMATTING

[Guest]

I set a double spacing format for a piece of work on my computer and put it on a back up disk while my PC got fixed. I have now copied this piece back onto my newly fixed PC but although the text is the same, it says it is 'single' spaced and i can now no longer get it back to actual single spacing. It also wont justify it properly. Why?

Most probably it has been transformed into a plain text file and has
'acquired' a hard return at the end of each line. Press CTRL+*
and display the end of line formatting - is there a pilcrow ¶ at the end of
each line? If there is, are paragraphs marked with two such characters? That
being the case, you can do a wildcard search for

^13([!^13])
replace with

<space>\1

where for <space> you press the spacebar

or alternatively download the stripmail tool from the downloads page of my
web site, paste the text into it,click 'paragraph' then 'copy', then paste
it back into your document.
