removing blank lines?

[Craig]

What's the easiest way to remove all the blank lines from an outline?

I have pasted in a text that results in successive blank lines between most items.

I imagine some use of the Find/Replace dialogue would help, but how do I search for blank lines?

I found this old mention (http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/archive/omnioutliner-users/2003/001451.html) of the problem, but option-Return is not working for me.

Still pondering this - any ideas out there?

You could use an AppleScript like this to do it:


tell application "OmniOutliner Professional"
tell front document
delete (every row whose value of cell "Topic" is equal to "")

end tell
end tell

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
