reformatting old emails

[Guest]

I am using Windws XP.

I often need to save emails as Word documents. The emails have less words
per line than I want . What steps do need to take after I copy and paste an
email into Word so that there are more words per line.

(I have been going to the end of a line, hitting delete then hitting enter
to create a news pace between the two words.) I know there must be a simple
way to do this.

Please Help!

Turn your show/hide button on:

If the character at the end is a "backwards P", then use ^p in Find.
If the character at the end is a left-pointing arrow, then use ^l in Find.

Hit Ctrl+H.
In the Find what box, place one of the characters above.
In the Replace with box, type a space.
Hit Replace all.
