Clean Clean Operations Clean-up your text. Often your text will need to have white space, non-alphanumeric characters, duplicates, or other debris removed from it.

Remove Non-Alphanumeric Remove Non-Alphanumeric Remove text such as ,.:;'<>?$#@!* If your text contains symbols that are not A-Z, 0-9, or space, it won't after you use this.

Remove Duplicates Remove Duplicates If your list is large, you may have duplicate entries that you didn't know about. This will remove them.

Remove All Linebreaks Remove linebreaks from text When you copy text from some sources, line-breaks from the original source will cause the text to look wrong in different width presentations. This tool will go through your text, removing all line-breaks that it finds.

Convet to Paragraphs Remove Linebreaks, Preserve Paragraphs When you copy text from some sources, line-breaks from the original source will cause the text to look wrong in different width presentations. This tool will remove those linebreaks, but still preserve the paragraphs boundaries.

Trim Spaces Remove Spaces from ends of your items Often, you'll end up with spaces in front of and behind your list items. This will clean that up, making the first character and last character of each item a non-space.

Remove Whitespace Remove extra blank lines, tabs, and spaces If you're cleaning up text, you'll often end up with embedded spaces, tabs, and extra line beaks. This will remove those.

Prune Items Deletes Text at beginning or end of items Define a character or group of characters that will be your 'trigger text' This 'trigger text' will tell where we want the pruning operation to terminate. The 'trigger text' will also be deleted. You can prune on the beginning of your items, or on the end of your items.

Replace Text Replace Do a 'Search and Replace' across your entire document. If you only want to replace whole words, make sure you put a space before and after your search text, or you'll end up replacing the text if it appears inside words as well. For example, if you replace 'is' with 'at', then you'll change 'this' to 'that', unless you put a space before and after the 'is'.

• Transpose List • Rows to Columns Remember that you can use the TAB key to add tabs to your list. Transpose understands semicolons, commas, tabs, hyphens, and spaces between elements in the rows you are transposing. Tabs, of course, generate the prettiest output, but only if your item length is less than a tab width.
