Delete, a blank line in Word

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by
We are using the Power Automate Desktop action - "Find & Replace" to update a word template with Mail Merge text, some of the addresses are shorter than others which mean we have some empty lines in the word document.

Can anyone explain or show how we 'Delete' a line in Word (either a blank line, or a <<mailmerge>> holder), using the actions built into Power Automate Desktop?

    Use the buildin pad function "Find and replace word in word-document"
    Search for ^p and replace with %''%

    I am not sure about the english function name, but just search for Word in PAD and you will see it.
