Does this remove extra blank lines between paragraphs?
No - this tool only collapses spaces and tabs within a line, it doesn't touch blank lines at all. For removing blank lines stacked between paragraphs, use Remove Blank Lines.
What's the difference between trimming whitespace and removing extra spaces?
They're closely related here: this tool trims leading and trailing spaces from every line, and collapses any run of repeated spaces or tabs in the middle of a line down to a single space - so both happen together in one pass.
Can this fix double spacing between sentences?
Yes, if "double spacing" means two spaces after a period or between words - those get collapsed to one. It doesn't affect line spacing or paragraph spacing, since this tool only works on characters within each line, not the layout around it.
Will this change my line breaks or paragraph structure?
No. Line breaks are left exactly where they are - only the spaces and tabs within each line are affected.
