RE: Stripping Out Extra Return Characters from DOS Text Files

Use File->Import->File directly from a plain .txt file rather than cut&paste or 
whatever your present process is. Choose successively 'copy into document', 'as 
text', and 'merge lines into paragraphs'. This does exactly what you want, as 
long as there is a blank line between paragraphs in the source.
