Option to ignore line breaks in OCR transcription files
Every line of written text, regardless of whether it continues below, starts a new line after OCR is applied (like a bad poem!). This means need to spend time editing to make it really readable.

Suzanne DonaldI'd love for the OCR to recognise punctuation and word wrap automatically until it hits a full stop. But a dot is tiny so maybe we'd need a new symbol, or just make the dot extra large.

Deb BridgeI currently need to go in and reformat all the line breaks in the transcription, individually - rather time consuming ..... working in Microsoft Docs, I have yet to find a global command that can delete the page line breaks that currently occur at the end of each handwritten line ... seems as if it should be able to "word wrap" so that the text is continuous except for punctuation.

Candy LapanThere is a quick way to remove all new line breaks in Word.
Open the Find/Replace window (shortcut: [CTRL]+[h]). Execute the following Find/Replace operation
Find what: ^p
Replace with:
Please note that you should not put anything (ie, replace with nothing) if you just want to get rid of the new lines (paragraph marks). If you want to build a comma separated list instead, replace with a comma and a space (, ).
