See the special characters options

replace all ^p^p    a double end of paragraph
with ^p^l      an end of paragraph and an end of line

Then - having got an end of line everywhere you want end of paragraph's
remove all the end of paragraphs
replace all ^p
with nothing

and - finally

replace all ^l  end of line
with ^p   end of paragraph


Finally, check the end of the document - and save as a doc
'cos saving as a DOS ASCII file will just put the ^p's back
