Replace All -- do this repeatedly until it beeps

This works, I will need to Macro this as I have over 200 pages; a lot of F8's!

Thanks for your patients. I will improve my forum skills.

Sorry for the delayed response. I tried several variation of your suggested RegEx patterns. The results wer not as expected. I tried to submit a better example of Source and Desired Results. A Lot of copy/Paste. Indexed column Data Sets should be in a single column.

The Z001 to Z020 are the Anchor points, the underlying data was a multiple "paste" to Save time.

Sorry to waste the forum time with a poorly worded request and Example of Source Text and desired Output Text. Confusion with <cr> vs /n - could not determine from looking at Text Pad. View modes and descriptions are a little weak here.

Right Column does not line up with Left Column, Right Column needs to be placed below Left Column. 3 CR Tags between Pages YZZV: ----> RZZ AZY X7-QUA 29, 207X 7X7 YZZV PZRRRABZ YZZV: ----> RZZ AZY X7-QUA 29, 207X 7X7 YZZV PZRRRABZ

I have a text document with a line length of 141 characters. It is actually two columns. I need to convert to one column at character position 73 on a page basis, there are three para tags between pages. Sample page and offline if appropriate.
