Default Delete space at beginning

Select the cells you want to adjust and run this small macro:

Sub spaceSaver()
For Each r In Selection
If IsEmpty(r) Then
Else
If Left(r.Value, 1) = " " Then
r.Value = Right(r.Value, Len(r.Value) - 1)
End If
End If
Next
End Sub

Hi All

Is it possible to delete the space at the beginning of a cell of data? I
have a list of addresses for a mail merge and some (not all) have a space at
the beginning of the data. Ideally the find and replace (rather than a
formula) would be best.

Example (in the first one the address has a space):
1 Corsica Street
22 High Street

Any help greatly appreciated

Kind regards
