I have Googled [as Calvin said, "Verbing weirds language."] for the answer to this and have had no success.

I have a long email correspondence (27 messages/replies) that I want to cut and paste into a single MS Word document, where no doubt it will be tucked away and forgotten forever.

All of the "reply" documents have lines truncated with the little crooked arrow symbol that I think may be a Linux line feed. In the sample paragraph below (one that I sent, that was quoted back in the reply) I have circled a few of the crooked arrows in red.

I would like to do a global search and replace to delete all those arrows and let MS Word format the line lengths. How do I do that?
