hi - copied and pasted some text which was bullet pointed, but now find that each word has 4 white spaces before it.

i.e
item1
item2
item3
item4


obviously its a huge list - and i have tried to manually bring the blinking cursor infront of each word and hit the backspace key 4 times and then repeated the process for the next word etc etc

this is cumbersome.


anyone know a faster way of getting all the items to be alligned properly so theres NO white spaces infront ?

i tried copying and pasting the list onto wordpad but it comes out with the 4 white spaces in front.


how shall i go abouts this ?
 
Not sure how this is an HTML question, but why not use Wordpad's Replace function, and simply set the replace string to 4 spaces, and the Replace With field to nothing.
