Remove trailing spaces from multiple columns in Excel
You can use the "replace" command.
Select the fields that you want to perform this operation on
Edit (on the toolbar)
Select "Replace"
put a space in the find field
put nothing in the replace field
Let me know if this is unclear

I have an Excel spreadsheet of names, addresses, etc. that I need to use in a
mail merge to create labels. Several of the columns contain data with
trailing spaces. I know how to use the TRIM command to remove trailing
spaces one cell at a time, but is there a way to remove trailing spaces from
multiple cells at once? There are 4 contiguous columns of 133 rows
containing text with trailing spaces, and I don't relish removing those
spaces one cell at a time.
