  • Save the document in .cvs format
    • Choose Text CVS (.cvs) in the pop-down File type menu
    • Check Edit filter settings
    • Choose a name and a location for your file
    • Click Save
    • Press Yes to close the "may loose formatting" dialogue
  • In the Export of text files window, choose "{space}" in the Field delimiter field, and leave Text delimiter set on: "
  • Click OK
  • Open the .cvs file you just created
  • In the Text Import window, in the Separated by section, uncheck Space (if it's checked). All the checkboxes have to be unchecked
  • Click OK
  • A spreadsheet appears, in which the columns are merged
  • Go to the Edit menu, and choose Find and Replace
