Steve,

A macro can't be written globally for this because each messed up document has its own problems. The common things like searching for multiple spaces using a press of the spacebar can easily be put in a Word macro because it is standard. Then you can run it without having to keep setting up your search and replace options.

Another good thing to do is to highlight your entire document and strip out character formatting (if this is something that needs doing) with control spacebar. Another one is to select the entire document and apply your base style such as "normal" which will at least give you a clean start if you then want to apply your correct styles of choice.

But there really isn't a set macro that can be used globally. I just set up common things if I know I might be using something a lot in a given project.

Not easy cleaning up other people's messes, huh? And they're not usually even consistent in messing it up!
Jean
