In the below text wherrever i bolded the text there are page breaks/line breaks. I am looking for a macro that can remove these breaks inside the paragraph without touching the end of paragraph breaks. if you load the text in a word doc and enable page breaks you can see the marks clearly. i am not an expert in using macros. please guide me.


thanks

david



When I sometimes have such statements as these flung in my teeth, “This man was never educated at College; he came into the ministry totally unprepared for it in literary attainments; he is only fit to address the poor; his preaching is not polite and polished; he has had but little classical instruction; he cannot react many languages;”—I say, Precisely so; every word of it is true, and a great deal more to the same effect might be said.

What have the wisest and most instructed, of modern ministers accomplished in the conversion of souls compared with the blessing which has rested on the labors of the unlettered boy? It was God’s work, and God chose the most unlikely instrument, that He might have: the more glory. And He shall have the glory;—I will not take any of it to myself by pretending to an education I have not received, or an attainment I do not possess, or an eloquence which I never coveted. I speak God’s Word, and God, I know, speaks through me, and works through me, and unto Him be the glory of it all!...


I frequently hear in conversation such remarks as this, “It is no use trying to raise a self-supporting cause in such a place as this; there are none but poor people living in the neighborhood.” If there is a site to be chosen for a chapel, it is said, “You would never be able to keep a minister there; it is

no use trying to do so in such a district.” You know that, in the City of London itself, there is now scarcely one Dissenting place of worship. The reason for giving up most: of the chapels, or transferring the church to the

There is an old program called Textcon that removes end of line breaks (actually I think all breaks if memory serves) then the text will flow but, also I believe you might lose paragraph breaks. Been years since I used it. Can email it attached if anyone wants it.
