[gui-talk] Taking hard returns out of document

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

If you are editing in MS Word, you could search for ^p and replace with a 
space.  Unfortunately, Word is going to wrap the resulting line in 
arbitrary places.

Before you do this, select the left-to-right, top-to-bottom reading order 
and see what you get, both in the JAWS buffer and if you have Adobe Reader 
save to a text file.  Sometimes this second reading order works much better 
than the first does.
