How do I stop lines of text breaking where I don't want them to?

If you click on the Show/Hide (¶) button and it reveals a ¶ after the words
"rules" and "talking", See the article "Cleaning up text pasted from the
Web†at:

Press Ctrl+Shift+8 or click the ¶ button to display nonprinting
characters. If there are paragraph marks (¶ symbols) or manual line
breaks (left-pointing arrows) at the ends of lines, delete them. Press
Ctrl+Shift+8 or click the ¶ button again to turn off the marks. (See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm.)

If there's a lot of this text, you can use the Replace function to
remove them. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CleanWebText.htm.

Try this. Got to:

http://www.papercut.com/emailStripper.htm

and download emailStripper. It works great to eliminate all the >'s, line
ends, and paragraph breaks inside of a paragraph. It works in one pass and
is very quick. It does insert a short advertising paragraph at the end of
the cleaned up document but it is easy to remove. It is free.

Stripmail is a similar tool that you can download from my web site and has
no advertising.
