I thought to collect it all at one place since I might forget it and later look for the amazing tricks I came through recently.

1. Word Space Trick

Problem:
Suppose there is a word file with name a.docx . The text inside word is something like this ~ "A quick     brown fox       jumps over a      lazy     dog".
Now the challenge is to remove spaces using Replace method.

Trick:
Press Ctrl  + H to bring the replacement menu. Type -  
Code:
( ){2,}
in the find box. Notice that there is space in between () and there 2 for finding 2 or more spaces. Now in the REPLACE field type -
Code:
\1
. Now select use wild cards after clicking on MORE and then press replace all to see magic!

Press Ctrl + H and type : ^w
In REPLACE WITH box press spacebar just once and click on replace all.
