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).

You don't really need to record a macro to do this; just do it.

i am needing to convert downloaded from internet text into stuff i can
read easier.

not stuff i type.

when i write stuff it is like this post.

i push return after each sentence.

one sentence paragraphs.

thank you.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

anyone have other suggestions ?

thank you

thank you for reply.

i tried given suggestions.

there must be a better way.

there was a way using macro which i wrote in wordperfect 5.1 dos but
wp51 macros not translatable into word.

I can't see how replacing a period and a space with a period and a paragraph
mark is so difficult, and this would largely accomplish what you want.

Within the limitations of the information you initially provided that's what
you have got. If you want it as a macro, then

Sub CreateParas()
Dim oRng As Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
With oRng
.Text = Replace(oRng.Text, Chr(46) & Chr(32), Chr(46) & Chr(13))
.Text = Replace(oRng.Text, Chr(63) & Chr(32), Chr(63) & Chr(13))
.Text = Replace(oRng.Text, Chr(33) & Chr(32), Chr(33) & Chr(13))
.ParagraphFormat.SpaceAfter = 12
End With
End Sub

will take you as close as you are likely to get. However you still have the
problem that the macro requires a properly constructed sentence in order to
have something to work with.
