problem in word
August 5th, 2016
Where are you pasting from? I’ll guess that it’s from the internet.
The source has line feeds thus breaking the lines. Hitting the backspace is actually deleting the <cr><lf> codes.
There is nothing specifically in Word that takes these out automatically, but there is a solution.

yes I pasted from internet. unfortunately the solutions in the link you provided didn’t help.
Turn on the viewing of special symbols and you will see the extra code.
Word 2007 and above: Click the Show/Hide ¶ button in the Paragraph group on the Home tab.
All versions: Press Ctrl+* (Ctrl+Shift+8 on U.S. keyboards).
Have you tried:
Paste Special and selecting “Unformatted Text” (in Word 2002 and above, if you have “Paste Options” enabled, you can just Paste and then select the “Keep Text Only” option). This pastes your selection with paragraph breaks instead of line breaks, and AutoFormat will then do the trick.
Other than that, your choices are to delete them manually, through a find and replace, or through basically what is a script.
Turn on the viewing of special symbols then use the find and replace feature in windows to remove the <> codes

I turned it on and I see a symbol at the end of all lines. how can I replace it ? Can you explain more please?
What codes are there and we can give you the regex expression to do a find and replace.
I see this ¶.
Select the text you pasted;
On the Edit menu choose Replace.
– In the Find & Replace dialog, click in the Find What box and Click the More button.
– Type ^p in the Find What box to represent a paragraph mark or,click the Special button, and select an item from the list.
– enter a space in the replace box – go ahead and replace!
Don’t know if it helps but open up notepad, paste the text in it, then copy again out of it and the. Paste in word again. Adjust font and it should be good?
Pasting from notepad won’t work as the paragraph returns in the copied text are often included in the source. So you will have to do the replace in notepad rather than word …
It might be much easier for us to solve if you supplied us with the website address that your copying the information from.
