Remove Blank Lines

QUESTION

Do you know how to eliminate the space between the character and dialogue? I've spent 3 hours trying to figure it out.

Example:

Bill

Do you know where you're going?

ANSWER

That depends how the space got there. If you have double-spacing turned on you could try turning it off. If it really is an extra line, it's a bit more tricky. Copy-and-paste the document into Word. In Word use Search-and-Replace to replace ^p^p with ^p. Copy-and-paste the document back into a new screenplay document in Final Draft.
