Text Cleanup tips

📋

Text copied from PDFs often contains extra spaces between words and broken line endings. "Collapse multiple spaces" and "trim each line" fix both in one step.

💡

Content copied from Word documents frequently has non-breaking spaces (shown as extra spaces here). Collapsing spaces normalises these automatically.

📄

Pasting from browser pages often brings invisible formatting characters. After cleaning, the text will paste cleanly into any text editor or database.

⚡

For raw data copy-pasted from spreadsheets, "replace tabs with spaces" + "collapse multiple spaces" produces clean, consistently delimited text.
