How to remove unwanted character in Microsoft words in single click

Share
Word's Find and Replace help us to remove unwanted character one a time. And using Format Painter to apply the formatting of one paragraph to others. But a tools changes all these in sinlge click. The retired U.S. Navy submarine ordnance officer and former Microsoft Word MVP has created a Word .dot template that removes unwanted leading, trailing spaces and characters, carriage returns, and empty paragraphs. This add-on applies the default formatting to all or part of the document with a single click.

This is not a permanent addition to Word. Once downloaded the add-on. unzip the file and get .dot template file. To use it temporarily Double-click the template, it will be open Word with the Add-in enabled. The add-in will disappear once it is closed

To use it template permanently, open Word's Templates(normal.dot) and click on Add-ins dialog box, click the Add button, and select the Clean Up Text.dot file.
[To open Templates and Add-ins in Word 2003, click Tools -> Templates and Add-ins. In Word 2007 and 2010, click the Add-ins button on the Developer tab. If the Developer tab isn't visible in Word 2007, click the Office button -> Word Options -> Popular and check Show Developer tab in the Ribbon. In Word 2010, make the Developer tab appear by clicking File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon and check Developer in the right pane.)
All of the add-on's options are check boxes or radio buttons, but to remove unwanted characters at the beginning or ending of lines, enter them in the "Remove leading/trailing characters" text box separated by the pipe character (|).
Spend less time on reformatting by using this Clean Up Text.
