Removing Formatting Marks

[flygrama]

I have written a book and have sent it into the publisher but I received a
letter stating that I need to remove the formatting marks in order for them
to edit my book and put it into the proper format. I have not been able to
find where to go in my Microsoft home and Office to remove these hard
returns. This is the action that I was asked to take in preparation for
publishing.
If you have hit ENTER at the end of each line, you have a hard return
problem that will cause your manuscript to be formatted incorrectly. You must
delete the hard return codes that break up your text within a paragraph. Only
hit ENTER at the end of a paragraph.Remove the hard return codes by deleting
them so that your text wraps to the next line no matter what margins you set.
Can someone help me find where I need to go to make the necessary changes?
Thank You Terri

If you have created this file in MS Word you can turn on view punctuation
marks by clicking on the punctuation mark symbol on the menu bar. It looks
like a backwards P with two downstrokes (¶) (In Word 2007 it is on the Home
page ribbon). Now at the end of each line of text you have typed you would
see the symbol and all you have to do is remove it by deleting the symbol at
the end of each line. If you press the End key and then the Delete key this
will take you to the end of the line and then delete the symbol and move the
next line up to the end. Make sure you don't delete the symbol at the end of
the paragraphs you want to keep. It will be an arduous task but unless you
are into programming it is the easiest way.

If in MS Publisher, you can also turn on the punctuation marks by clicking
on the same symbol in the menu.

It'd be pretty weird to send a book to a publisher in Publisher methinks.
If I were one I'd want it in a basic text file.
