Default Is this possible?

I have searched quite a bit and can't find how this might be done.

I have an existing Word document which I am copying and pasting into another
program to make some instructional videos.

Unfortunately I am having some formatting issues when I paste into the video
program and it has no formatting options concerning margins.

I need to have each line of words in the original document actually be a
paragraph. The documents are rather large so going through and hitting enter
after each line would be extremely time consuming.

Is there any way I can have Word go through and make every line of text in
the document a paragraph in order to solve this?

Thanks

Gary

Try saving the document as a Text file, and select the option to end each
line with a CR/LF

You may then need to close and re-open the document in Word and re-apply the
desired character formatting as it will have been changed to the
non-proportionally spaced Courier New font.

Hope this helps.

You, sir, are officially awesome. That worked like a charm.

Thanks so much!
