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.
