Finding and removing extra spaces in text

[gwpriester]

I am formatting a paperback book in Designer Pro X 16. In text such as this the convention is a single space between sentences. But frequently the author inserts an extra space.

Finding and replacing the extra space is easy.

Insert the text cursor in the first line of text.

Do a Find/Replace (Edit menu). In the Search For box enter two spaces with the spacebar on your keyboard. In the Replace With box enter a single space.

Click Find Next.

When there are no more double spaces remaining a yellow box will appear indicating the End of Search.
