FileCleaner

FileCleaner cleans up common problems in electronic manuscripts, including multiple spaces, multiple returns, unnecessary tabs, improperly typed ellipses, ells used as ones, and so on. It turns double hyphens into em dashes, and hyphens between numerals into en dashes.

FileCleaner can also remove directly applied font formatting (such as Times 12 point) while retaining styles (such as Heading 1) and character formatting (such as italic and bold), quickly cleaning up those messy documents imported from other word processors or OCR programs.

FileCleaner does all this in the active document, all open documents, or all documents in a directory, all at one time!

If you are an editor, typesetter or desktop publisher you'll definitely want to keep FileCleaner.
