Default How to Remove trailing spaces AND line breaks in a block of text
Hello Forum!!!!


I have browsed google for quite a while now, and found a solution to my problem for removing the line breaks and spaces after text using this website:
Remove line breaks with paragraph restoration online

However, some of the text I post is sensitive and I am worried that this website may use my data or keep copies of my data.

Is there anywhere to remove these pesky spaces in word?
Attached is a mockup doc.

Kind regards,

Julian

Better still, see the Cleaning up Text Pasted from Websites, E-mails, PDFs etc. 'Sticky' thread at the top of this forum: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...-pdfs-etc.html

Hi Paul! thank you very much for the comprehensive solution.
I can't be bothered with all the find and replace stuff but that macro will sort me out just as well.
Cheers!

The macro simply automates "all the find and replace stuff"!
