   So the problem I'm having is that my clients have a horrible tendency to add multiple spaces in their sentences. Sometimes it's slightly acceptable, such as the end of a sentence, after a period. Other times, I'm finding three or more spaces being used. I can't seem to use most search and replace tools to remove the spaces, as they see " "(double spaces) as a null value, the same as a single space.
   Any plugins, tricks, etc. would be greatly appreciated

   I often see this with people from the typewriter age or beginners trying to use spaces as page layout techniques.

   Which ones have you tried? Are you doing this online or offline?

   I've been doing this online, via the plugin "Search & Replace", as well as another that I can't recall the name of now, but it seems that every time i enter in this info, it comes back as a null value:

   » Attempting to perform search and replace ...
   » Search ... and replace with

   And so on... Tried searching in PHP MyAdmin, but decided to back out before I got in too deep on that one.
