How to remove the spaces in a microsoft word document.?

  • I am working with some gene sequences but when I copy them to MS word document lines were broken with a lot of spaces. I have to join the lines with DEL of Backspace key. It takes a lot of time. Is there any way to join the lines and remove the spaces between the characters.

  • Answer:

    You can do a find and replace (Ctrl+H). When the popup window opens, then click the "More" button. Place your cursor in the "Find What" text field and then click the "Special" button. Clicking the "Special" button allows you to select paragraphs marks, white space, line breaks, etc... You may have to experiment to see which of the special characters you need. Leave the "Replace with" text field empty, and then click Replace or Replace All Before doing this, save a backup of your document.

Suggest you change a paragraph at a time - just in case - so you don't mess up the whole document. Also - keep in mind the "undo" key. Remove extra hard lines: Select the paragraph click Edit cl Replace Find what: click More click Special select Paragraph Mark click in the "With" box but don't type anything now make your choice of action Remove extra spaces: select a paragraph cl Edit cl Replace Find what: type two spaces Replace with: type one space make your choice of action

if you have a consistant amount of spaces then choose Find - Replace type in the amount of spaces to replace and the amount you want replaced with for example if you have lots of spaces of 5 characters, replace this with 1
