    Comma Separated into Horizontal

    If I have a vertical list of 20 keywords in word
    and each has a , after it, how do I make it into a horizontal list quickly example

    Right now it is
    keyword1,
    keyword2,
    keyword3,
    keyword4,


    but I want it to be
    keyword1,keyword2,keyword3,keyword4


    I will have larger lists in the future so I am looking to save time

    Find/Replace what?

    If you use textpad or any other editor with regular expression find/replace, replace "\n" with "" (make sure regular expression search is checked on textpad)

      You want to replace the return or paragraph symbol with a space symbol.

      If you don't know what that means, you have the wrong "view".

      Make any sense?

      I don't feel like opening word and looking it all up.
      I don't have fantasies, I live them.

          Textpad

          Don't put the quotes, just put \n in the search textbox and leave the replace textbox empty.

          To get the paragraph symbol to show up in word, click the button with the paragraph symbol on it in the toolbar. Might have to click the little down arrow thingy at the end of the bar to show more buttons, but it's there.


          edit: for word:

          - control+f
          - goto replace tab
          - put "^p" without quotes into "find what:"
          - leave "replace with" blank
          - click replace
