Is there a button in msword that can regroup all text?

Hey Guys

I got a bunch of text on 20 pages, the text is in the right order from left to right down the page, but it's all over the place. Is there a button that will just bring all the test together. You see this text should fit in far less pages than 20 if it was all together. Right now I am doing it manually and it's taking ages is there a button or option that does it automatically. I still want the text to continue as it's a story.

Many thanks in advance

not exactly the alignment

you see I have taken a movie script and I have removed all of the text apart from the dialogue and now I got all these dialogue text all over the place on 20 pages and I want all the dialogue next to each other in the order of a story on the least amount pages. How would that be possible to do?

many thanks for the replies

DVDbunny you should just be able to highlight all the text, and then when you move the page margin sliders everything will drop into line.

If its instead filled with a bunch of "SPACE"'s all you need to do is copy and paste the gaps into "Find and Replace" stick the right ammount of spaces in the "find" box and leave the "replace" box empty. It'll take them all out.

Or if you host it somewhere, I'll do it. Its a 2 minute job.



Using a spreadsheet to fix a document just doesn't sit right with me. Does doing your method preserve headers, footers, section breaks and page breaks, as well as formatting?

I cannot find where is find and replace, which option do you choose when you got to EDIT - FIND?

Many thanks in advance
