Hello. I have recorded the following multi-stage macro. I know that it's longer than needed but have really no idea what I can safely remove. Would one of you experts be kind enough to trim it down for me? Thank you very much.
Code:
Sub PreEdit()
'
' Macro to replace in the entire document:
' straight single and double straight quotes with curly;
' remove tabs;
' replace manual line returns with hard returns; and
' remove empty paragraphs
'
'
