Help with replace feature

    I just started a new job with a law firm that uses trial director for their syncronizing.
    Is there a way to replace the spaces without shifting the whole document with this program?

    Here is an example of what I am talking about.

    The original:

               
    00001    :    01    AO: have you ever given a deposition before?
            02    GG: No
            03    "AO: Um, Ms Layne, are we in agreement that we are
            04    deposition pursuant to the rules reserving objections except to 
            05    and responsiveness until the time of trial?
    00002   :       01

    This is how it should look

    00001:01    AO:
          02    GG:   THERE IS TEXT HERE AS WELL BUT THIS IS AN EXAMPLE
          03    AO:
          04   
          05
    00002:01 

    I did not know if there might be a shortcut with this program.

    Any help would be great...

      Not sure I understand.  Are you simply wishing to remove the spaces from between tho numbers and the colons?  Just use Find/Replace (control+H) to find " :" and replace it with just ":".  It could cause trouble if there are similar patterns in the text, but it seems unlikely.
