White space is not something you "remove" unless you're talking about adding specific elements. If you want to "remove" whitespace put in objects or shapes you have created. If you want to change the background color create a rectangle over the entire page with a color.

Well to remove the white space button, you can use the empty gradient tool and then scan the areas and click accordingly.

If you want to remove the leading spaces I suggest you to export the text into a text editor like pspad or visual studio express edition.

Yes, you can. You need select all white spaces manualy and then just press delete key on your computer keyboard.

There is a button at the bottom of the live trace "tracing options" that says "ignore white." It will ignore all white space in a live trace and just give you the color. Hope that helps!
