again and again. a lot of thanks for the help.

Select the text and run a macro something like this:

Sub Scratchmacro()
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
i = Selection.Paragraphs.Count
Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart
For j = 1 To i
Selection.MoveEndUntil Chr(13)
Selection.Characters.Last.Next.Delete
Next
End Sub

In addition/alternative to what the others said... select the lines you want
concatenated, press Ctrl+H (Find/Replace) and set the following:

Find what:^p

Replace with:[leave empty]

Note: I assume you've selected what you want concatenated, otherwise,
clicking Replace All will work on the entire document, not just where you
want.

Click Replace All, then click No when it offers to do the rest of the
document.
