What Happened To Select Text Flow And Preserve Line Breaks In Acrobat 6?

The text select tool in Acrobat 5 allowed you to pick “flow” or “preserve line breaks”. In Acrobat 6 there is only one option and it preserves line breaks. Even in column select mode, line breaks are preserved. If I save the whole pdf as a Word doc, then the text flows. But I only need to copy a few paragraphs. Does anyone know how to copy text without inserting a break at every line in the paragraph in Acrobat 6?
