If the indents are tabs, do a search on and replace it with "". If the indents are with spaces, the search and replace can get it close, but not exact, by multiple replacing 2 spaces with 1 space. You'll still need to remove the one space atthe beginning of each line. (Some editors will let you replace and then with just which will also eliminate that first space on the line.)
