InDesign Script Text Cleanup

The script repairs common flaws in text, done in one operation rather than repeated visits to the InDesign Find/Change dialog. The script was created to clean up imported text from word processing applications, content that is often loaded with unwanted formatting — excess spaces between words, multiple spaces used to align text, unwanted line breaks, and more.

• Reduce multiple spaces or tabs to one
• Change double hyphens to em or en dash
• Fix foot and inch marks
• Remove empty paragraphs
• Remove forced line breaks
• Remove excess at end of paragraphs and stories
