[GKW in GA]

I successfully used Graham Mayors example to remove multiple blank spaces
from documents using wildcards but I can't get it work trying to find
multiple TABS or multiple PARAGRAPH codes

G'Day GKW,

Use the two-character code '^t' to represent a Tab
'^p' to represent a Paragraph mark.

For multiple paragraph marks a wildcard a replace of
^13{1,}
with
^p
should work leaving just one.

Select the text and run the find and replace - if you are talking about a
macro, change the wrap option to = wdFindStop
