Default How to Globally Remove Non-breaking Spaces


I have come across this issue a number of times. Clients send me a presentation. The text throughout the presentation contains non-breaking spaces. Is there a way to search and replace them with a regular space?

I have already tried ^s and it didn't work. It works in Word but not PowerPoint.

Have you tried copying a NB Space and pasting it into the FindWhat box?

Ok, so the simplest way I found to correct the issue was to perform a Find and Replace. In the Find box, I pressed the space bar. Same for the Replace box and then clicked Replace All. It took a minute or two but removed all of the non-breaking spaces.
