47776	2002-05-08 11:47:00	I get long text emails generated by an Amstrad 'emailer', a UK dedicated email writing machine, I think. How can I reformat these messages on MS Word? They come formatted about half normal width and wont budge for me. Anyone come upon these machines and can help? At the moment I have to do every line manually.	Guest (0)

This is a return character and is used by some text processors to mark the end of a line. To get rid of these, it's easy. First you will want to mark the end of each normal paragraph with something like a big red XOX. Then do a search and replace. In the search part, press enter, or if you can't, then use character map (Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Character map) to copy the above symbol into the search box. In the replace box, hit the spacebar once. Then run it - it should replace every Return character with a space. Then do it again except this time XOX goes in the search and the return character goes in the replace. It may take a couple of goes to get it right, but once you get the knack, it becomes second nature. You may even be able to create a macro for it.	Guest (0)
