- **A PDF text that has been copied contains unneeded breaks.** You can rapidly transform this patchwork into a wonderful continuous text. With the shortcut Ctrl + H, select the inserted text and open the Replace feature. Fill in the Find what field with the following: p. (If each line does not include a blank space at the end, you must also write a blank space in the Replace with area.) Otherwise, each line's last word and the first word of the next line will be merged.) Then select Replace All from the drop-down menu.
- **that Word chooses more text than I desire**. The solution is to select while holding down the Alt key. And there you have it: letter-based selection!
- **A group of words should not be separated.-** Don't use dozens of blank spaces or tabs to prevent two or more words (for example, a firm name) from being divided across two lines. Replace the space between the words in question with a non-breaking space instead (which looks similar to the degree symbol). Between words, instead of tapping the space key, use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Space. \ \
