I have copied some text from a website and want to remove the paragraph breaks so the text flows better. How do I do it?

A search of the forum for the phrase remove paragraph breaks turned up a number of solutions, including:

[Tutorial] Combine paragraph fragments with AutoCorrect
[Tutorial] How do I remove end_of_paragraph marks?

If you need just the text, why do you just copy/paste it through notepad without formatting?

Because the original paragraphs are split and each line becomes a one-line paragraph when copied. It comes from the web site layout.
I guess a negation is missing in your question.

For short texts - i.e. less than 64KB in length, I use

Find \n
Replace <space character>
drop More options and select Regular expressions
the press Replace All.

There will almost always be some editing required.
