Part sentences

MSWord. 2003 & 2007.
Whenever I increase the font size of text, I get half sentences ever other
sentence.
ie
"The night was thick and hazy when
the Piccadilly daisy carried down her captain and the crew.
I think the water
drowned em, for I never ever found em and I know they didn't come ashore
with me."

I have a book length text and would like to be able to correct it all at one
time.
to correct it I now, I do each sentence by placing the cursor next to the
word 'water' above and click delete. That closes the sentence.

Any suggestins appreciated. Thanks.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CleanWebText.htm for the procedure to
remove the unwanted line endings.

It sounds like you're hitting a return at the end of every line. Don't do
that. Word will automatically wrap words to the next line if you let it.

It will also help if you work with your nonprinting characters showing. Then
you can see where the paragraph markers are.

Thanks Jay, that web was great. The answer was to use Find and Replace,
thereby removing all the paragraph breaks. Just used CTL+H. entered ^p and
clicked replace all. Voila!
