Are the spaces true spaces (display formatting characters with CTRL+*) or
are they a result of some bizarre formatting anomaly? If the former, try a
wildcard replace of
space@{1,}
with
space

or

if there are tabs in the max, replace (not wildcard)
^w
with
space
then select all the text and align to centre (CTRL+E) then align left
(CTRL+L) to get rid of leading spaces.

If the spaces are layout anomalies, apply a paragraph style then CTRL+Space
to reset the text to that style.

If these don't work, send me small sample via the link on my web site so I
can see what we are dealing with. I would warn, however, that I am in the
process of emigrating and so I cannot guarantee to respond quickly.

I have transferred text from an apple word program by copy and
pasting it into an email and then copy and pasting it again into
Microsoft Word (it was a last option). It worked, except there are
huge random spaces between words in all the text that was copied this
way. How can I format this text to return the spacing between words
to normal. I'm pulling my hair out trying to work it out. I'd be most
grateful to anyone who can save me having to format hundreds of pages
of word documents, line by line.
