Hello everybody,

I’m sure you’ve all seen those little, nasty gremlins. In a word  
processor with “Show Invisibles” turned on they look like as if you  
had drawn tiny, gray rectangles with a pencil and then decided to  
cross them out by placing an X on top of them. They reside between  
normal visible characters like parasites most of the time. I  
regularly get those gremlins when I export data from FileMaker as  
text files.

Although they all look identical they are obviously not because  
removing one with Find and Replace will not remove the rest.

Can anyone help with a macro to get rid of those unpleasant parasites?

Thank you,
