How to Delete Blank Space in Word Document

1. Navigate to Word and open the document you’re editing.
2. Select the lines or paragraphs with any extra spacing you don’t want. Click “Format” and “Paragraph.”
3. Go to the “Spacing” section and change “Before” and “After” to zero. Change “Line spacing” to “Single” and click “OK.”
4. Delete blank spaces from your entire document by going to “Edit” and “Replace” in the toolbar (shortcut: Ctrl+H).
5. Click “More” to expand the “Find and Replace” dialog box.
6. Place your cursor in the “Find what” text box and click “Special.” Choose “White Space” from the list. The “^w” character will be displayed. To remove two or more blank spaces from your Word document, add the “^w” character twice in the “Find what” text box instead.
7. Leave the “Replace with” text box empty unless you want to add something else. Press “Replace All” to find all blank spaces within your document and replace them.
