If you seperate paragraphs with two returns (as many do), tell her to
do the following three Find-and-Replace commands:

1.  Replace all double returns (use the code ^p^p) with an obscure
code.  I use @@@, but whatever floats your boat.

2.  Replace all remaining single returns (^p) with a space.

3.  Replace the code from 1 (@@@) with a single return (^p).

This will work for all grafs seperated by two returns. There are other
tricks as well, but I won't bore the group with them.
