It would seem that a space followed by a return would then still  
remain, and be a problem.

Separate issue, but I would not want ANY changes made without  
specific individual approval.  at least not changes with any  
vagueness to them, such as this.  There's always something we forgot,  
like an occasional colon, or such.

One thing about PowerFind Pro, is the actual criteria can be sent in  
email.  So it has that advantage even if it can be done otherwise.
