Default Searching for spaces and removing them

Something's not right. If you want to zip up a copy of the file and email it
to me, I'll have a look.

Hi Jay
Tried both suggestions but they didn't work. Now Find or Find and
Replace doesn't work in this file (works in another Work file) I've
tried it with reveal formatting on or off - no luck. This doc
originally was exported as an askii file - which I brought into word
- should that make a difference? Dean-nie

Just type a space (press the spacebar once for each space). If
they're nonbreaking spaces, which appear as degree signs instead of
dots, type Ctrl+Shift+space in the box.

I've exported data, choosing a tab to separate fields from an old
version of Paradox - opened it into Word. I'm trying to eliminate
the spaces between each field using search and replace. Reveal
formatting is on but there is no tab code in doc just space
indicators. What do I put in replace box - there is no code for
spaces?
