I have a list of names copied from another program. This field in the
other program is padded to 30 spaces. When you copy and past it into
excel the full field is transfered, including the spaces on the end of
the name that are blank. I'd like to write a function that would get
rid of the extra spaces for aesthetics. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
