Fantastic!! This made my day. I've tried several times in TextEditor (on a Mac) and it just worked ONCE! Then I had to start the computer all over and repeat the process. Restarting the computer was the only thing that worked, even though I've updated the system and all the apps, and that took a lot of patience, haha. Thank you SO MUCH! It was really helpful.

Thank you so much, very helpful! In my case "remove line breaks" did not work, but "fix hard line breaks in plain text" did!

[ComicDive]

No add ons are needed. Go to find and replace. In find type\n in replace press enter and then replace all. That's it
