White Space (whole document) and White Space (font-sensitive) are the sections of Cleanup that can remove extraneous spacing in your document

White Space (whole document)

When checked, the following Cleanup features will be applied to the entire document:

  • Remove Section Breaks

  • Remove Page Breaks

  • Remove Column Breaks

  • Remove Space Between a number and %

If you find yourself consistently checking or unchecking options on the Cleanup dialog you may want to reach out to Inera to adjust your organization's default settings.

White Space (font-sensitive)

When checked, the following Cleanup options may be set to exclude text in a specified font:

  • Convert Tabs to Spaces

  • Remove Multiple Spaces

  • Remove Start and End Paragraph Spaces

  • Remove Blank Paragraphs

These Cleanup features can be particularly useful on documents that you wish to run white space-related Cleanup but exclude certain paragraphs that should retain their whitespace (e.g. programming code, poetry, etc.).

When checked, Exclude Text in Font allows you to choose from the dropdown which font to exclude during this portion of Cleanup.

To exclude or not to exclude:

Excluding paragraphs from white space–related Cleanup features is optional. You can still run all Cleanup features on all paragraphs in your documents if you prefer, by leaving the Exclude Text in Font checkbox unchecked.

Exclude Text in Font only excludes paragraphs of text that are in the font selected from the drop-down options.

Remove Start and End Paragraph Spaces removes leading and trailing space in paragraphs as well as nonbreaking spaces and soft returns.

This step and Remove Multiple Spaces, when checked, are applied after Convert Tabs to Spaces, so that all extra white space is removed from the document.

How to use

Before running Cleanup, check your document for paragraphs or sections that eXtyles should skip during white-space Cleanup (i.e. verse/poetry, etc.) and make sure those paragraphs are in a font that is not used elsewhere in the document.

After Activation, eXtyles automatically protects paragraphs that are in a constant-width font or that are correctly tagged with a paragraph style that is set in a constant-width font.
