Does anyone know how to change paragraph breaks to space and double paragraph breaks and spaces to single?

o  Use Edit | Find & Replace... to open the Find & Replace dialogue box.
o  Click on "More options" and put a tick by "Regular expressions".

To change paragraph breaks to a single space:
o In the "Search for" box, enter $ and in the "Replace with" box the single space you require.
o  Replace All (or as necessary).

Changing double paragraph breaks to single ones is merely deleting empty paragraphs. To do this:
o  In the "Search for" box, enter ^$ and leave the "Replace with" box empty.

Do you mean that the supposedly empty paragraphs may actually contains a few spaces? If so: o First, in the "Search for" box, enter ^ *$ (Note the space in there!) and leave the "Replace with" box empty.
o  Replace All (or as necessary).
o  Then use the above technique for empty paragraphs.

I trust this helps.
