About the Remove Extra Spaces
Copied text carries invisible mess: double spaces after full stops, tabs from a spreadsheet, trailing spaces at the end of every line and stray blank lines between paragraphs. This cleaner removes exactly the kinds of whitespace you select and reports how many characters it saved.
Clean whitespace matters more than it appears. It affects search matching, string comparisons, imports into databases and the way text wraps on a page.
