    I couldn't find a good Sub-Forum for this question, so I am posting to General Chat. Anyone here know of a faster way to transform this text:

    "Pick almost any city or town in the country,
    drive through any middle class neighborhood
    or residential area on the weekend, and you're
    sure to spot at least a half dozen garage sales."

    into this text:

    "Pick almost any city or town in the country, drive through any middle class neighborhood or residential area on the weekend, and you're sure to spot at least a half dozen garage sales."

    without going manually to each line? Would really save me some time.
    Green rep for any helpful answer. ;)

    Here's my try! :D

    "Spot half a dozen garage sales on weekends in any middle class neighborhood or residential areas at almost any city or town in the country!"

    you want to automate the process i guess, try the macros in word, it works!
    you will have to record a macro and then run it again and again to get it work!
    cheers:D

    I suggest cutting/pasting into your editing program (wordpad or notepad) and turning off the word wrap. It might work for you.

    EDIT: I just tried it and it did not work. :( sorry ignore me
