remove begin-line spaces

Not sure if this is programming or regular windows program use - apologies if it's the wrong thread. Does anyone know how to remove leading spaces in lines in MS Word? i.e to from this: text is here to this text is here There doesn't seem to be an applicable regular expression.

try ^p followed by a space in the Find box, and then ^p on its own in the Replace box. Repeat the Replace All until all the excess leading spaces are gone. If they're tabs at the start, use ^t instead of the space.
