Removing spaces at the beginning of a paragraph

F

Hi,

I'm not much of a word expert and I've just completed a relatively
long document (about 170 pages). I did not set up the document
correctly and, instead of using tabs, there were times when I used
spaces to indent.

I managed to get all the tabs to line up in the entire document
using the ruler. However, on certain lines, I now have tabs AND the
spaces I used. I found something in a newsgroups that was supposed to
get rid of those spaces but it didn't work. Is there any way I could
get rid of any space that was after a paragraph ending character.

I had considered I'd write a program to do this but I figure there
must be something in word. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Fig

Don't use tabs - use paragraph styles to format the document.
