Assuming you are in Word...

Goto Menue Bar:Format:Columns Change to one column.

Cheers.

Sorry, I should have mentioned to select everything that you want to change first, if everything you can use: Ctrl + A. Then try what I mentioned above.

Are you using MS Word?
Do you need to do this to multiple documents? If so I cannot help you.

ANd you tried to select all (Menu: Edit:Selects All) and changed to one column (menu:format:Columns)?

Ok...
Save it as .txt.
Then close and reopen the txt.
CTRL + H (To open find/replace).
In your file every live ended in a space. I unhide formatting characters.
so in the Find box i enterd <space> ^P
Replace entered just a <space>
That took all the carriage returns out and made the line continuous.
Saved as .doc and changed formatting.

Found that trick here:http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ms_word_replace_line_breaks_carriage_returns.htm

great news Mark ,thanks
I'll have to do some adjustment manually as some lines ends at the center so backspace is required I presume .
