How can I turn off word wrap in the View Source output?

I'm trying to extract HTML from Word and one way to do that is to save the Word file as a .htm file and then View Source in a browser and copy that. But the words are wrapped in the View Source file. I want each paragraph to be all on one line. Is there a setting for the View Source feature that will turn off word wrap?

Once I have that done and copied into a plain text editor, I will use Search>Replace to get rid of all the stuff Word puts there and just end up with the simple paragraph tags at the end of each paragraph, all on one line.

You can disable wrapping and syntax highlighting in the View menu in the Edit > View Source window.
