There is one thing that you can do to help the Word user. In text
processors like Word, paragraphs are not separated into lines in the
electronic version, but only during the instantiation on screen or
paper. So, you could consider to remove single end-of-line characters,
but not double end-of-line characters with some scripting language like
awk.
