Default Combining / Merging several rows - but want to keep formatting

Help - please !
I have exported out of a database, saved as a TXT file, and brought into
Excel a large set of overview text (approx. 7000 records). Unfortunately,
the overview text has separated into rows rather than stay together as one
large overview text.

The text can be 2-25 rows and is separated from the next by a blank row.
Is there a way to capture the text from the next line, ALT_Enter it into the
first line so it appends and keep doing this for each subsequent row until
the blank row is reached (indicating a new overview is about to follow).

I've tried merging, but it makes one long row and loses formatting. With
bullet points in the overview, among other items, it makes it look like a
huge mess.

Thank you in advance!
Gene
