removing line breaks

A

Advance Scout

I have a list of about 200 names with line breaks- so that each name is
directly underneath the other.

I need the same list but with no line breaks or returns- so that the
names are on one line straight across. When it reaches the end of the
line width , than it can start a new line. Any way to accomplish this
automatically without the tedium of backspacing?

Have you tried Find/Replace using wildcards?

I know, if you know the code for a paragraph mark, you can replace it
with a comma, semicolon, space, etc. You can also hand-cobble this by
turning on the P symbol and removing all Ps.

Thanks to all- ^p works beautifully- in fact i tried two and three
spaces- works too - so I can really format as needed.
