= SUMMARY =

To strip blank paragraphs from a Works Word Processor document, complete the following steps:


 * 1) Turn Show All Characters on in the Options menu so that you can see the paragraph marks in the document.
 * 2) Enter the string “pp” (without the quotation marks) in the “search:” field of the Replace command on the Search menu. This search string instructs Works to find occurrences of two consecutive paragraph marks.
 * 3) In the “replace:” field, enter the string “^p” (without the quotation marks). This string tells the program to replace each occurrence of two paragraph marks with one paragraph mark.
 * 4) Choose Replace All to execute the Replace command. Works will delete each blank paragraph it finds.
