No, because I have indenting of paragraphs. How does one
distinguish between spaces that are there, because 1) they are at the
start of the paragraph and 2) of this mline() glitch? mline() does
not indicate this, and simply applying ltrim() to each line would loss
the paragraph indenting.

I did have a function based on mline() and found this space
glitch. Because the memo is being put into a letter, it became
im****tant to eliminate the extraneous spaces.

I initially suggested using Office Automation to my boss, but he
decided to go with the obvious way.
