Removing double empty lines (two 0x0a 0x0a in a row)

MACRO: REMOVEEMPTYLINES

PURPOSE: To remove double empty lines (two 0x0a 0x0a in a row)

WHY: When converting from mac/unix/dos text file formats some programs
stuff up by making double lines which is annoying

HOW: Just mark your area and run the macro

Sub RemEmptyLines()
 Dim comp
 str = ActiveDocument.Selection.Text
 str1 = “”
 comp = vbLf + vbLf
 comp2 = vbLf + vbLf
 i = 1
 Do While (i < Len(str)+1)
 Do While Mid(str, i, 2) = comp
 i = i + 1
 Loop
 str1 = str1 + Mid(str, i, 1)
 i = i + 1
 Loop
 ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = str1
End Sub
