a clean up text module to remove extraneous line breaks etc from imported texts?
Download and install WordServices 2.7 at http://www.devon-technologies.com/download/index.html. Logout/login or restart to enable it. Now for selected text use the Format options in the Services menu.
yay thank you bill!
it works!!
(btw for anyone else reading this : this is a very worthwhile installation if you regularly import texts with strange formatting applied to it by machines - or humans :p)
