Downloading, Documentation, Modifications, and Support

A macro to remove some or all hard returns at the end of lines in plain-text (ASCII) files that have been imported into WordPerfect, and replace them with soft returns. This makes reformatting files or other copied material such as e-mail messages or BBS/internet downloads much easier.

Just select the sentences or paragraphs (or the entire file, with Edit, Select, All) that you want to strip of hard returns, and then play the macro to "fix up" the file.
