Getting rid of empty paragraphs in Word
Q: I have a document which contained unwanted paragraph marks.
Essentially what I want to do is to delete every line that contains only spaces and paragraph marks. Note some lines contain no spaces, just para marks, other lines have multiple spaces and then paramarks.
Anyone able to tell me what the find command will be?
A: This code will do the job:
Sub LoseEmptyParas()
Dim p As Paragraph
Dim myFlag As Boolean
Dim myString As String
Dim myNewString As String
For Each p In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
myString = p.Range.Text
myFlag = False
myNewString = Replace(myString, " ", "")
If Len(myNewString) > 1 Then myFlag = True
If myFlag = False Then p.Range.Delete
Next
End Sub
