Default Excel not seeing the space

I am copying and pasting some data from PayPal. When I go to delete the USD
portion of the cost, it leaves a space at the end of the number and then I
can't autosum the various costs together. How can I get rid of the extra
space. When I try to find/replace, it excel doesn't see the space at the end.
I am using Excel 2007.

Thanks,

The blank spaces are probably HTML non-breaking spaces.

To remove them:
<Edit<Replace
Find What: [ALT]+0160 <-Hold down [Alt].type 0160.release [ALT]
Replace with: (leave this blank)
Click [Replace All]

Does that help?
