The LTrim function will trim only spaces on the left,
leaving the
rest intact. Try something like


Sub AAA()
Dim Rng As Range
For Each Rng In Range("A1:A10") ' << CHANGE Range
Rng.Value = LTrim(Rng.Text)
Next Rng
End Sub

When opening specific text documents in excel, the text
is
captured with 6 or 7 preceeding spaces (this is
expected). I'm looking for a macro that will remove
only
the preceeding spaces, but not touch any spaces that
appear after the first character of text. Is there a
macro that can remove these? I have tried to setup a
macro that copies and pastes values...etc. but to no
avail. The spaces are always carried along.

Thanks for your suggestions.
