I have been formatting a 400+ page book that I have written and I am sending it to the printer next week. This query also picks up the double returns and even multiple spaces (but only when the spaces are at the end of a paragraph) so I tend to run this one first.įor more information and a list of GREP characters, see InDesign Help / Find/Change. For long documents, this can be a real nightmare. When it’s just a single space, most of the time they don’t cause any problems, but sometimes they won’t fit on the same line as the punctuation and they force a new line or even a new page. Trailing whitespace refers to one or more spaces, tabs or extra returns at the end of a paragraph, between the final punctuation and the hard return(s). Another preset, this one pulls out all two or more hard returns and replaces with one. Hit Change All and poof! All extra spaces are gone. The Find What line looks a little scary, so just don’t look too closely. If you simply can’t look away, understand that it’s a string of GREP characters that looks for two or more spaces (i.e., em spaces, en spaces, flush spaces, hairspaces, etc.) and replaces all of those with one spacebar space.

Instead of running a series of searches to weed out all extra spaces, just pick this one preset. Drop down the Query list on the top line and run each of these queries with the Search parameter set to Document (to search all the stories in the InDesign document):.Choose Type > Show Hidden Characters so that you can see the non-printing characters.(I place stories on the Pasteboard when I’m not ready to place them on the actual pages.) Place all your files into the InDesign document.The three I am going to show you are using GREP, which uses patterns instead of actual character strings to locate and fix issues in InDesign documents.
You can quickly and (painlessly) remove extra spaces by running one or more Find/Change queries. Too many extra spaces in your InDesign documents? No problem.
