Default Remove 2 Characters from the end of each line?

Firstly, try the quick and simple, select the text, click on the Centre align
icon (Ctrl+E), then the Left align icon (Ctrl+L), this usually gets rid of
any superfluous spaces and tabs from the start and end of paragraphs.
For multiple paragraphs you can use Find/Replace, using ^p^p for the find
and ^p for the replace, this will get rid of two paragraph marks and replace
with one.
See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CleanWebText.htm for this and other
tips, also see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Clean_Up_Text.htm for a macro that
can help if you need to do this a lot.

Hi

I'm wondering if it's possible to record a macro, or code one, or if
there's some easy function that will remove two characters from the end
of each line in Word. The lines are all different lengths.

Also, is there anyway to make Word remove blank lines? (No characters
or anything. Just like if you hit enter twice. There's that line with
nothing in it?)
