VBA help please - remove leading spaces
 

In column D of my worksheet some of the cell contents have a varying number
of spaces. How can I removed any leading spaces from those cells with VBA?

There are spaces within the cells (not leading) that I want to keep.

Example below.

Here is what I have now:

ColD
This is the text
Blah Blah Blah
Blah Blah Blah Blah
This is the text

Here is what I'd like to end up with:

ColD
This is the text
Blah Blah Blah
Blah Blah Blah Blah
This is the text

Thanks in advance!

Scott
