Copy and Paste from Coursera website

Hello,

OS: Windows 11
LO Version: 24.2.1.2 (X86_64)
Save format: OpenDocument text (.odt)
Here is a link to a sample page (you must be enrolled in the course to view the material): https://www.coursera.org/learn/os-power-user/lecture/1lHBJ/windows-modifying-text-files

I’m currently enrolled in an online course through Coursera. I always copy the transcript to LibreOffice but when I do it looks like this:

“To read a simple file in bash we can also use the cat command to view a document.
So let’s look at important document.
The Cat command is similar to the Windows Cat command since it doesn’t
do a great job at viewing large files instead we use another command, less.
Less does a similar thing that more does for Windows but it has more functionality.
Fun fact there’s a bash command called More but
it’s been slowly dying out in favor of Less.
It’s literally a case of less is more.
Similar to more when we use less were launched into an interactive shell.”

Is there a way to format this into one big paragraph instead of having to do it manually line by line?

Thanks,
Ruben

Please update your question to mention OS name, LO version and save format. Provide a link to some sample page, e.g. the page containing your quotation text.

Ask nicely and ChatGPT may do it.

After some digging through Ask LibreOffice I found a solution. Check the link below.

how to allign multiple lines in a single paragraph ?

" OpenOffice.org (OOo), commonly known as OpenOffice, is a discontinued open-source office suite It was an open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice which Sun Microsystems acquired in 1999 for internal use. " i want this into a sentence like below using short cuts “OpenOffice.org (OOo), commonly known as OpenOffice, is a discontinued open-source office suite. It was an open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice, which Sun Microsystems acquired in 1999 for internal use.”
