To Find/Replace End of Line Carriage Returns in a Gutenberg Doc:

# Open the txt file in Word
# Find and Replace all Double Carriage Returns
## Open ‘Replace’
## In the ‘Find’ box, enter ^p^p
## In the ‘Replace’ box, enter a set of characters you know won’t appear in the work. I use ‘bulzplop’
## Click ‘Ok’
# When that’s finished running, replace all Single Carriage Returns
## Open ‘Replace’ if it isn’t open already
## In the ‘Find’ box, enter ^p
## In the ‘Replace’ box, enter one blank space
## Click ‘Ok’
# When that has finished running, replace all of your ’special’ characters with Double Carriage returns
## Open ‘Replace’ if it isn’t open already
## In the ‘Find’ box, enter bulzplop
## In the ‘Replace’ box, enter ^p^p
## Click ‘Ok’

If all goes well, at this point, you should be able to safely print and enjoy your free novel. You may, however, have some small clean up here and there.
