Which IME bites. It does one line at a time....

Far better (but commercial, well shareware) is Marcel Weiher's wonderful
TextLightning.app (www.metaobject.com)

(ob. discl. I was a beta-tester and got a free license for that, but no
other association besides considering Marcel a way cool guy and friend)

It parses the placement of the text on the page, and the style(s) to
(attempt, pretty successfully) to make sensible paragraphs of the text.
