Remove extra spaces FAQ
Where do extra spaces usually come from?
They commonly appear after copying text from a PDF, a spreadsheet cell, or an email that used tabs or multiple spaces to line up columns.
Does this remove spaces at the start and end of the whole text, not just each line?
Trimming each line removes leading and trailing spaces from every line, which also clears the very first and last line of the text.
Will this affect a single space between words?
No, single spaces between words are left alone. Only runs of two or more spaces or tabs in a row are collapsed.
