Merge Multiple Lines

Hi everyone,


do you know how can I merge multiple lines into one single line? The example above is a part of the text so I need to put these three lines into one...

If I try with "Find and Replace" it allows me to change just words, not special characters as in this case the black space or the paragraph...



Il segno di interpunzione e' soppresso

al terzo periodo, le  parole nuovi  o  maggior  oneri  sono

sostituite dalle seguenti nuovi o maggiori oneri.

Switch on Show Invisibles (shift+cmd+i) and you will see the paragraph marks ¶ at the end of those lines that received a hard return. Place your insertion beam before the first word of the previous line you wish to join and backspace to remove that ¶ symbol and inherently replace it with a space. This is your only (manual) choice as Find/Replace does not respect only selected text when searching for a paragraph mark (\n) character. You will find all of them in the document.
