Just a reminder:

Unix doesn't utilize a 'CR' (ASCII 13), but instead uses a 'LF' (ASCII 10) to
terminate a line.
You'll need to check the docs on your word processor to be sure that it's 
using a CR rather than a LF.

If you need to do the conversion the easiest way is to use thr 'tr' program
resident on most Unix machines -

tr /015 /012 <CR-flile >LF-file
