I continue to use the backspace and space keys because the source I have been 
copying from is done with 2 coloums with lines only 5-12 words long. The 
paste comes out in the right order, but each line is exactly the same as the 
source.(I know, hence the word copy)could someone patient and smart please 
tell me how to extend these measly lines to fill the the page on my microsoft 
office word 2007 document! back spacing is taking way to long with every line 
needing it. i think ive pressed backspace-space-left mouse click at least 10 
000 times!!!!!I need a one step solution.

What you probably have are Paragraph Marks or Manual Line Breaks that are 
separating your text into short "lines".
See the following article about these Non-printing characters and how you 
can solve your problem.
