How to use Remove extra spaces
Remove Extra Spaces cleans up whitespace in three ways: collapse repeated spaces and tabs into one, trim spaces from the start and end of each line, or remove every whitespace character. In the default collapse mode, Preserve paragraph breaks keeps your line structure; turning it off folds all whitespace, including line breaks, into single spaces.

Frequently asked questions
How do I replace double spaces with a single space?
Use the default Collapse repeated whitespace mode. Runs of spaces and tabs become one space and each line is trimmed at both ends, while line breaks stay in place as long as Preserve paragraph breaks is on.
How do I remove all spaces from a string?
Choose Remove all whitespace. Every space, tab and line break is deleted, so the whole input becomes one continuous string, which helps when cleaning up codes or numbers that were copied with spacing.
Can I trim leading and trailing spaces on every line?
Yes. Select Trim line edges. Spaces and tabs at the start and end of each line are removed, while the spacing between words and all line breaks are left unchanged.
