Steps:
1) Using your mouse, highlight a formfeed/carriage return by starting at the end of one line and highlighting to the beginning of the next line.
2) Control-C to copy
3) Control-H to open the Replace dialog box
4) Click in the Find What box
5) Control-V to paste the formfeed/carriage return
6) don't put anything in the Replace With textbox
7) Click on the Replace All button.
That gets them all.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The question was about formfeeds, not linefeeds, and also how to do it without having to copy and paste. I don't know any way to specify a formfeed other than copying and pasting. Normally you could use a regex expression like \x0c, but this doesn't seem to work with Notepad++, although I found a Scintilla document that says it should.

Is there a quicker way of removing FormFeed characters from a text file other than selecting the first FormFeed character then Ctrl-H
Thanks
