You could use Stripmail, linked from the downloads page of my web site, or
depending on the nature of the whitespace under discussion, you could select
the text, centre it (CTRL+E) then left align it (CTRL+L). This will remove
leading white spaces.

Apart from using find/replace 'whitespace' and doing a line by line,
paragraph by paragraph replacement, is there some way of setting up a
macro to remove white space, but not the required white space between
words?
I have a standard form copied from hyperterminal that is used, but
when copied into word, contains alot of white space with margins
exceeding 80 columns etc, and wish to format each form within word to
a standard format. I used to have a text stripper years ago used for
the old BBS files, but have since lost it. It used to work very well
in removing whitespace in documents
