Generally when cutting and pasting into word from Acrobat Reader, paragraphs
are delineated by one "Paragraph Mark" (PM for short) and the end of line by
one, as you noted.
So one strategy to use is to mark the text consituting the paragraph and then
replace the PM with nothing. Using the "find and replace" dialogue box put
the PM in the "find what" field and leave the "replace with" field empty. PM
is a choice in the "special" pop-up menu. MS word will just do the
replacement in the selection only. It'll prompt you if you want to continue
-- which you do not.
Select another paragraph (leaving the PM separating paragraphs unselected)
and repeat.
Wish it was simpler and slicker, but that's all there is.
