When you copy and paste content from a Web page or email message into a Word document, you may find that the text does not appear neatly left-aligned in Word.
 * Clean Up Excess Spaces in Web Text in 2010 **

That may happen because spaces you were not aware of precede each line of text, or because the original text had a line down the left side, or was pulled from a table.

You can strip out these spaces by selecting the text and pressing Ctrl-E, and then Ctrl-L. These commands center the text and then align it to the left, thereby removing the unwanted spaces. If the text that you have pasted from a website into Word has a line down the left margin of the page, you can remove that line by choosing the Review tab from the ribbon toolbar and then, from the 'Accept' drop-down list, selecting :- Accept All Changes in Document.

To extract text from a table that appears in a Web page so that you can paste it into Word without table formatting, start by selecting the table. In the Table Tools, Layout tab, select Convert to Text. Choose to separate text with Paragraph Markers, and click OK.
