You can use ^w for white space in a search and replace - for example Find " ^w" and replace with " " - that is to say find a blank space plus ^w and replace with a blank space or with nothing or find ^w^t and replace with ^t - there are a number of these special find and replace characters for things like carriage return (^p), required space (^s), tab (^t) and white space (^w). The easiest place to see all these is actually in Microsoft Word - the Find & Replace dialog has a drop down with a bunch of special character listed by name and when you select them they insert the special character.
