For example some of the text has a . and space before the words start. I want
to remove the . and space so all the words line up.

Hi Jennifer,

to remove the . and space so all the words line up.

I'm not sure I understand what you want.

Obviously (to me), you can click in the text box and delete these things. So I
take it you want something else, more automated, perhaps?

Which version of Word are you working with?
Have you tried using Find/Replace?
What kinds of "text boxes" are these (what menu commands were used to create
them)?
Where did the text box content come from, that it's so "oddly formatted"?
