Deleting Text
Prerequisites
As in most other word-processing programs, you can delete text in the line editor with the backspace and delete keys. This topic describes additional delete functions offered by SAPscript.
Procedure
Deleting Extra Blanks
If your document contains sequences of more than one blank space, you can delete the superfluous blank spaces with the Compress command.
All strings of consecutive blank spaces are compressed into a single space.

Compress does not observe the American formatting rule that two spaces should follow a period ending a sentence. If you compress text that includes sentence ends, then you will need to re-insert the second space at the end of each sentence.
