Cindy, While you can't remove all paragraph marks, you can search and replace the end-of-line hypin marks and the paragraph mark with just the paragraph mark. You will still preserve the original para-mark.

Of course you can't just find and replace the hyphen because that would close up words that maybe shouldn't be, and you can't do the same with the end-of-line paragraph symbols because that would eliminate all paragraphs as well. I know of no simple solution.
