Adobe to Word

When I copy and paste a document from Adobe into Word the text is all on one half of the page. It won't stretch across the page when I realign it - does anyone know how I can get it to take up the whole page? Thanks

The problem is caused by the fact that the copied text has a carriage return character at the end of every screen line. The copied text will therefore have a fixed width equal to the width of the original pdf text.

This can be easily sorted by using Find and Replace. Follow these simple steps

1) Protect the real paragraph breaks
Go to Find and Replace
With the Find box active:
Click on more then click on special
Choose paragraph mark
Choose paragraph mark again
(it should appear as ^p^p)
Click in the Replace box
Type in any character that doesn't appear in the text eg $
Click Replace All

2) Replace the unwanted line ends
Go to Find and Replace
With the Find box active, enter ^p
With the Replace box active, enter a space
Click Replace All

3) Finally restore all the real paragraph breaks
Go to Find and Replace
With the Find box active, enter $ (or whatever you used)
With the Replace box active, enter ^p^p
Click Replace All
