[Solved] Replacing spaces with paragraph marks

Post by gruzovik »

How do you replace all spaces between words in a paragraph with paragraph marks, so that each word becomes its own paragraph? I have a list of last names that I want to import into a data base, but each last name needs to be in a separate paragraph to do so. I'm using an iMac running OS X Version 10.4.11.

Don't have a Mac but try:

Select paragraph
Ctrl+F for Find & replace
Search = tap the spacebar
Replace = \n
Check Regular Expressions
