Frequently asked questions
Will it remove single spaces between words?
No. Only repeated spaces are collapsed to one, so words stay separated.
Can it clean data pasted from Excel?
Yes. Tabs between columns can be converted to spaces and stray blank rows removed.
Does it change line breaks?
Only blank lines are removed when that option is on. Use Remove Line Breaks to join lines together.
