Josh emailed me about WordWrap macro as follows:
Announcing a humble little tool that can save a lot of time, not to mention tedium and frustration.
Problem: when copying multiple lines of text from PDF into Word documents, there’s no easy way to merge multiple lines of text into a single paragraph in Word. The busy author must hand-edit, line by line, removing line breaks and adding spaces.
Solution: With this simple macro for Microsoft Word 2007, press CTRL-SHIFT-V and the clipboard’s text is pasted without CR/LF “wrap” characters, so you get a single, merged line of text.
V1 works with Word 2007 on Vista in English, but it’s open-source; feel free to improve it
Jane, you teach me about new tools all the time. This one is going to save me countless errors of mind-numbing scutwork. Hip, hip, hooray!

I'd like to help but Jane's link errors out to 404 file not found. The source site is SourceForge.net http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=263867
but try as I might, I can't download and configure it successfully. I'm sure it can be done, but only by someone more software install savy than I.
