Hi guys,

 

Is there any method to remove line break and replace them by a space on illustrator? Attached example of what I have, and what i need. I need a quicker way to do it instead of going one by one and replace them.

 

Thanks in advance

You can copy the linebreak character and use Edit > Find and Replace to replace it with a space.

Edit: I'll add some details. Use Type > Show Hidden Characters to show the Linebreak. Position the cursor in front of the Linebreak and use Shift and Right Arrow to select an copy it.

It doesn't seem to be possible to use notation to search for paragraph returns or paste one into the search box using Find & Replace. Not sure why it wouldn't be, though this thread indicates that it may still be possible on the Mac version:
