Default (in)definite article and leading/trailing space remover needed


In order to better alphabetize a books database, I would like to use a
macro that checks for and deletes all titles that BEGIN with "The",
"An", "A", etc. IOW, if the first word in the cell is an (in)definite
article.

It would help if this SAME macro did a pre-scan for leading and
trailing spaces, and deleted them accordingly.

Finally, this macro would be most convenient if worked after selecting
a column.

Thx for any input you can provide on creating such a macro!
