Default remove spaces between numbers

I have about 8000 numbers (1 digit numbers) in four columns in MS Word. The
numbers have spaces between them but I dont want the spaces. Is there an easy
way to remove these spaces without having to do it by hand one by hand?

Use the replace function - see

Won't this produce an 8000 digit number?

Possibly the spaces are "Space Before/After" not spacebar.
You can use Find Replace to change space after and before, press the More
button on the Find/Replace dialog box.
Hope this helps
