Removing Carriage returns

[tmfischer]

I have been given a data dump as a .txt file. There are hard carriage returns within the document to allow it to fit on a standard 8X10 paper. The carriage returns interrupt each data line multiple times. I am looking for a way to remove the carriage returns from approximately 15,000 lines. Hopefully, this doesn't mean deleting each one individually. Can someone help me?

Try using the replace function in Microsoft Word. You will need Microsoft Office.
