Don,
Try "Find & Replace" in WordPerfect.
FIND -> ==============<carriage return><carriage return>
REPLACE -> ===============<carriage return>
It's much, much faster than manually editing this stuff.

PS To forstall a flood of mail messages: yes, XEDIT, sed, awk, vi, emacs &
etc. can all do this too :-)
