Good God Man! You saved me hours and hours of time having to do this exact one paragraph break at a time with RUclips transcripts!!!!!! OMG! I knew there was a way to do this but I am surprised at how technical it happened to be. Sheeesh! Thank you so much for this video, I am actually surprised that it doesn't have more views. LoL I have been searching for videos like this for 6 months, and I finally thought to do research to discover the Key word "Paragraph break and line break". And BANG! your video popped right up. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
You're welcome! The paragraph mark, if you want to find it, is ^p - you can select it from the Find-Replace box, at the bottom, _special characters -> paragraph mark_ .
Thank you, Graphicious! This is tremendous help. It is going to save me hundreds of hours of tedious Space/Delete moves after every sentence. Wow. Thanks!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Cristi, all the way from Kenya. You deserve the Nobel. Am editing over a thousand pages and I knew I was going to go through 'hell." The joy of coming across this video is immeasurable. Pure bliss.
Very nice but you might want to add a search/replace which replaces two spaces with one space as it looks like some words have the extra spaces between them. This sometimes occurs when copying web page text. To take your instruction bit further, if there are titles followed by multi-sentence paragraphs of text, you can broaden the clean-up by launching search & replace and doing the following: Search for "space space", Replace with "space" (this removes the double spaces which may be in the wrong spot); Search for ". space" and Replace with ". space space" (this corrects the end of sentences to include . space space (if your punctuation rules call for that)); and Search for ".space space ^p" and "Replace with ".space space" (this brings sentences together which should be in one paragraph). The last s/r ensures the titles and full paragraphs retain the needed line separation so you're not correcting them. If you do this a lot, a macro would be helpful but that's another video. :) Thanks for all you do!
I have a 80 pages MS word document with paragraph break in each line with single space and it has paragraphs with double spacing. How can I fix it? When I follow this video style it changes whole document. I need paragraphwise change. Kindly help. thanks
Thank you so much for this great tutorial. What a time saver!!! I feel stupid for all those times I spent taking a space one line at a time in the past.
Basically all you did was remove the full stop on everyline, but this should show you how to keep paragraphs together, adding a return at the end of the paragraph.
I appreciated this! On a high paying 6 figure paying job interview 🙌 by the look at recruiters' faces they were impressed by my resume and cover letter
I am really grateful for this amazingly helpful video. Its a tonic for people like me who r not very tech-savvy. Keep up the good work & THANKYOU VERY VERY MUCH!
WOW! I deeply want to THANK YOU for such an Informative yet professionally Instructional video from which I learned what I so much wanted and needed to. Excellent video!
very usefull my friend, i donno how i found your channel, but it is amazing for all the descript and this text breaks tutorial .... frankly you saved me a lot of time ... wasted time on organizing the text before i inject in descript. one thing i need to tell you, to ADD the AI artificial intelligence in the subject line and the video description in order to find your videos and your course, the other thing i found by chance and everybody will be looking about animating the text or the content in the TIMELINE as in and out ... even the descript tutorials don't have it .... great job man , i wish i can start my new youtube channel soon after i saw yours.
You can also use the format painter tool same result if you already have text on the document, if you copy and paste text on to the document and the format doesn’t stay consistent with the text already on the document use the format painter tool
I think it depends on what version of Word you are using. When you press Ctrl + H, do you see the window described like here? www.howtogeek.com/364843/how-to-find-and-replace-special-characters-in-microsoft-word/
Thank you man, you are a legend! A question if you don' t mind, I am having this line breaker that keeps appearing automatically on a massive word doc that I am translating, do you know how I can stop it or make it disappear? cheers!
@@Graphicious No it was a line, but it seems that the problem is sorted out now (No border option, didn't work initially, but worked afterwards). Thank you so much !
If you're going to do it that way, don't forget the dot in 'replace with'. Note this does not help with statements ending with '?' or '!; and it doesn't help with statements ending with a quote. Alternatively, replace ^p^p with ^p.
Yes. But the main question still how the heck do you remove line breaks without losing the end ".?!" of a paragraph? EDIT: I think I have figure it out. In order to keep the ".?!" at the end of the paragraph. Add too spaces FIND REPLACE: " " and REPLACE "^p" or "^p^p".
Thank you sir for the excellent tutorial, however, I am still facing a problem hope you can help. When I save the word document with the corrected changes from your video, and open back the document it is still in the bad format and I have to do the steps again. My word pulls from Excel. Is there a way to make it keep the changes so when re-opening the document, all the words and lines keep the correct spacing?
thank u so much for ur great guide. but i have one more issue. some of the video CC doesnt have pull stop (period dot). so when i use second command (. ^p) it doesnt separate the sentences. can u help me how to do that
If your sentences don’t have a full stop separating them, what do they have? Is it a new line? You can target a new line character too and use that. But if you don’t have anything separating the sentences, maybe only space, then I’m afraid it’s going to have to be a manual job
To remove line breaks: Find what: "^p" Replace with: " " =single Space To Separate paragraph and keeping ".!?" at end of the paragraph: Find what: " " =double spaces Replace with: "^p" or "^p^p"
Hi Cristi, this is nice, thanks. I have one query and its just the opposite, if you can tell me it will be very helpful. I have a lots of paragraphs and I want to insert a (a hard return) paragraph break or a soft return after exactly 5 words, I mean, the 6th word should start in a new paragraph, how can I do it using find and replace ? I do understand that in replace with I will have to enter ^p but my confusion is what should I enter in Find what box to do the above. Thanks
I think you can achieve what you want with regular expressions (tick the box 'Use wildcards' in your search). I am not really good at that but here's one that will keep TWO words on each line. Search for: (^32[! ]{1,})^32 and replace with: \1^p. Maybe you can tweak it to work with 5, I don't know.

Just a small comment: on the second replacement you should have replace the '. ' with '. ' and a paragraph line so in this way you don't lose dots (:
Thank you. I think anyone can use this procedure to create any variation of line breaks or paragraph breaks for their needs.
