Default Eliminate blanc spaces at the beginnig row

Dear all, i have the follow problem:

I have to cancel the blanc spaces at the beginnig row (and only at the beginning row) from a Word file but only from row "x" to row "y".
Do you have any solution?



Ex: i would like to eliminate 6 or 7 blanc spaces for every rows from row 8 to row 25.

Could you post an example file for us to look at - and please mark the areas that should be removed, thanks.


This way, more people may have a go at answering.

OK - what you are going to need to do is create a macro that uses the Find and Replace tool that loops through the document.

The following code will: Find "_______" and remove it. This will go through the whole document.
Code:
Find_and_replace_spaces Macro
' Macro recorded 6/24/2009 by Bird_FAT
'
    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = "_______"
        .Replacement.Text = ""
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Do While Selection.Find.Execute
    With Selection
        If .Find.Forward = True Then
            .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart
        Else
            .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
        End If
        .Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceOne
        If .Find.Forward = True Then
            .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
        Else
            .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart
        End If
        .Find.Execute
    End With
    Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
    Loop
End Sub
Does that help?

Thank you for your collaboration but this isn't the solution. Maybe my english isn't correct.
I post the input file and the output file that would have to obtain!
The macro that you have wrote cancel all blanc spaces. I post also the result for your macro.
The macro have to cancel only blanc spaces on the left of input document in specific area form "PROTOCOLLO" to "DISTINTI SALUTI".

Do you have another solution?

OK - all you need to do is change two pieces in the code:

First you need to add in the symbol for a paragraph marker - this will mean that the code will then ONLY replace the spaces AFTER a paragrph marker, second alter the 'replace' field to indicate a paragraph marker (see the red indicators below!)

(Use the 'Show/Hide' button to see the symbol)

Code:
Sub Find_and_replace_spaces_Macro()
' Macro re-written 6/25/2009 by Bird_FAT
'
    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = "^p       "
        .Replacement.Text = "^p"
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Do While Selection.Find.Execute
    With Selection
        If .Find.Forward = True Then
            .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart
        Else
            .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
        End If
        .Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceOne
        If .Find.Forward = True Then
            .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
        Else
            .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart
        End If
        .Find.Execute
    End With
    Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
    Loop
End Sub

I have added ^p before "PROTOCOLLO" and before "DISTINTI SALUTI" at the begging row. Then I have execudet your code like your post but the result was:

RUN TIME ERROR "5624"

Degub error: Do While Selection.Find.Execute

I think i don't understand correctly your istructions.

Have you tried copying and pasting my code - as it is written in my last post? I tried it on your files, it worked fine for me!
