When using the convertor, It removes all the spacing for paragraphs is there any file I can edit, or something else I can use in conjunction with pspad to keep the paragraph spacings in the document?

subfolder .\Convert
Convertor definition is in the plaintext file
Look at section [Remove chars]

looked there not seeing the 1 assigned for the html to text config and the way the document is coded theres no <break> ¶ or even </p> to denote that there is a empty line of space there what would I put in there to have it aknowledge that there was a
ex:spacing between the paragraphs?

So maybe you should use a simple multiline search replace with<.*?>

Remove tags (I guess you talk about this function) does what described - it removes tags and let text between.
If you want to have separate paragraphs, simple call HTML reformat before or use TiDy to reformat your HTML (you can configure it). This will separate paragraphs, line breaks, ...
When you will use Remove tags, you will get text with separated paragraphs as you need.

I think this is not entirely correct.
<p>paragraph</p>
<p>paragraph</p>
results in
paragraph
paragraph
Also watch for the extra single space at the beginning of every line.

Leaving the spaces is the correct behaviour. You are just removing tags not reformatting.

No, it did not just remove the tags in my 4.6.0 2671 installation.
As you can see in my post it removes empty newlines and puts an extra space at the beginning of every line.

OK just tried it and see what you mean but it is worse than that. A . represents a space
<p>blah</p>
...<p>blah</p>
......<p>blah</p>
Becomes
.blah
...blah
...blah
Ignore the bizarre formatting in the second code block. Not sure why the forum does that.
