I looking for a simpler way to edit text after copying and pasting from an
email with a gazillion 's. I'll find and replace the 's with a space.
Then we're left with lines of text with one or two words, gaps, not
properly
left-justified, etc etc. Short of a "BACKSPACE"ing lines of text and
"DELETE"ing spaces, is there some means of scanning this text and
squeezing
the air out??? Thanx - David
