How do I remove linebreaks in Notepad++?

Is there a simple way of removing linebreaks in Notepad++?

For example:

This text has been splitted
in lines, and it's longer than
3200 words, so it would be great
to find and replace line breaks
like these.

1. Highlight the lines you want to join (or use Ctrl + A to select everything)
2. Choose Edit → Line Operations → Join Lines from the menu or press Ctrl + J.

It will put in spaces automatically if necessary to prevent words from getting stuck together

CTRL+H

In Search Mode pick Extended

Find - \r\nReplace - leave it empty.

For me, using Win 7, I had to use

\r

in the Find box and type in <space> in the Replace box so that there is a single space between the last word of the current line and the first word of the next line.
