The only other major backslash letter command I know for Kurzweil is
backslash n for new line, but you don't want to remove them. In fact, I
often insert a carriage return with the enter button in places which should
have them.
I do sometimes do searches for extra spaces, like say searching for two or
three spaces next to each other and replacing them with a single space.
Since occasionally I get more than four, or even five spaces together,
simply replacing two spaces with one sometimes has to be done more than once
to get rid of all of them.
From that point I do a search for the quote mark space another quote mark.
Then I replace it with a quote mark space backslash n and another quote.
This though, is only the command for working in Kurzweil. If you do your
editing in other programs like Word the commands are totally different.
There are surely a lot more, but here are the most common ones for Microsoft
Word.
tab ^t
carrot character ^^
manual line break ^l
manual page break ^m
section break ^b
