That would be quite inconvenient for other editing operations. My
files are usually quite unpredictable, since they come from different
authors writing in MS-Word. People seem to do very strange things when
they work with Word. So much of the editing must be done by
hand. But it might be a good idea to do at least the standard
replacements with long lines.
Greetings
Sven
