SmartWrap is an application that lets you reformat any text. I do a lot of work with words on my Mac, and I often come across texts that are completely out of whack in terms of formatting.
Although SmartWrap does its magic automatically, there are a few settings that let you customize the process. You can create templates that will only be used when you hold a hotkey, which is very convenient. For example, you can tell the application to hard wrap the text to a set number of columns, to insert characters or text before or after a line, to maintain the quote level, to insert something before and after each paragraph or the body of the text.
I tested the application with a messy table that was hard to copy to Word. I pasted the text onto SmartWrap and it grouped each row into a paragraph of text, which is exactly what I wanted it to do, so that I could copy some of the information. Then I simply clicked on the "Copy to Clipboard" button and pasted the text into Word. This only took me a few seconds, versus the few minutes that I would have had to dedicate to cleaning the file manually.
SmartWrap can be fully tested before you purchase, so if you have a messy file that you need to clean you can see if it works for you before you have to spend money.
