Remove end-of-line hyphens in Word 2011 for Mac
You're right, the hyphens are artifacts from importing text from a PDF.

One way to do this (my preferred way, anyway) is to copy as plain text into a text editor such as Text Wrangler.  The hyphens generally have a space after them when importing so I do a find and replace starting with that pattern.  Then the resulting clean text can be imported or pasted into Word.  Not a application solution but it works pretty well for me.


Copy PDF content to clipboard
Paste as plain text into a text editor that supports find and replace (Such as Sublime Text, Text Wrangler, Atom or even VS Code.)
Do a Find and Replace of "- " Hyphen space without the quotes.
Replace with Null or empty string.  In other words, put nothing in the replace field.
Copy the resulted text to the clipboard
Paste the text into the Word document and apply desired formatting.
