intentional format one sentence paragraphs

i am somewhat dyslexic.

is there a macro to convert text into one sentence paragraphs so i can
read them better.

This is something of a dilemma. If you don't use punctuation and have no
concept of grammatical construction or the use of capital letters, how would
a macro be able to sort out your ramblings into paragraphs?
If, however you simply want to make each sentence into a paragraph, a start
might be to use the replace function to replace a full stop (period) with a
full stop followed by a paragraph marker (^p).

Use the Search and Replace dialog (Control+H) to find instances of a 'full
stop followed by a space' and replace with a 'full stop followed by a
paragraph break'.

i tried control h.

i typed a period and then presses the spacebar.

tab

period spacebar control p

enter

it did not do anything.

Reading your other reply, I think you need something different.

Am I correct in thinking that you find the lines of text are TOO long?

You want shorter lines so that it is easier to read?

Don't use Ctrl+P; type ^p (the ^ character is Shift+6 on U.S. keyboards).

Or click More to expand the dialog, click Special, and choose Paragraph Mark
from the menu.

Use Ctrl+A to select all of the text then use the Format Paragraph dialog to
add space after each paragraph.
