I use journal for notes - then convert my notes to text and paste into word.
I then spend a lot of time editing out the end of line returns so I've got a
useful word doc that I can continue to edit. Is there any way around this?

Well, it's really a Word question. You can do a Search and Replace in Word and
replace all of the carriage returns with a space. Then manually insert a hard
return where you want them while further editing the document. In the dialog for
replace (Menu - Edit/Replace), enter ^p for the original and then just tap the
space bar once for the replacement text.

Also, note that if you go through the Text Correction Wizard in Journal
(Actions > Convert Handwriting to Text) then there is an Options
dropdown that allows you to ignore line-breaks.

Ah, thanks for that, Mike. I'm new to the Tablet PC world, having just gotten an
Averatec C3500 this past Monday afternoon. I haven't had enough time to really
poke at the capabilities.

Why don't you leave the ink as ink? The beauty of the Tablet PC is the ability to leave ink as is. It is still searchable.
