Thumbs up Answer: How can I delete a space in the beginning of a cell...

How to delete the space in the beginning of a cell in Excel 2003:
  1. Select the cell(s) that contain the space you want to delete.
  2. Click on the Edit menu at the top of the screen.
  3. Choose Replace from the drop-down menu.
  4. In the Find what field, type a single space (hit the spacebar once).
  5. Leave the Replace with field blank.
  6. Click on the Replace All button.
  7. Excel will replace all instances of a single space at the beginning of a cell with nothing, effectively deleting it.

And that's it! The space should now be removed from the beginning of the cell(s) you selected.
