Removing leading whitespace at start of line
To be honest with you - I've had to do that mayself and I find it easier and
faster to keep one finger on the delete key and one on the down arrow. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Henry" wrote in message news Hello - I've got some multi-line text where some lines start with a space - this looks weird on the formatting and I'm trying to find a way to remove this with "search and replace" in ms word...

Removing leading whitespace at start of line
If the space is uniform, you can use Alt+Drag to select and delete the
column. If the lines are separate paragraphs, you can center them all, then left-align them again, and that will remove the spaces. If the lines are all in a single paragraph, make sure it doesn't just have a hanging indent (if it didn't, there would have to be a line break at the end of every line in order to have a space at the beginning of the lines). -- Suzanne S.
