@item M-x delete-whitespace-rectangle
Delete whitespace in each of the lines on the specified rectangle,
starting from the left edge column of the rectangle.
@item C-x r t @var{string} @key{RET}
Insert @var{string} on each line of the region-rectangle
(@code{string-rectangle}).
@item M-x replace-rectangle @key{RET} @var{string} @key{RET}

edge of the rectangle.  The right edge of the rectangle does not make
any difference to this command.

@kindex C-x r t
@findex string-rectangle
  The command @kbd{C-x r t} (@code{M-x string-rectangle}) inserts a
string on each line of the region-rectangle before the rectangle,
shifting text right.

@findex replace-rectangle
  The command @kbd{M-x replace-rectangle} is similar to @kbd{C-x r t},
but replaces the original rectangle.  The string's width need not be
the same as the width of the rectangle.  If the string's width is
less, the text after the rectangle shifts left; if the string is wider
than the rectangle, the text after the rectangle shifts right.

  The command @kbd{C-x r t} (@code{M-x string-rectangle}) replaces the

if the string is wider than the rectangle, the text after the
rectangle shifts right.

@findex string-insert-rectangle
  The command @kbd{M-x string-insert-rectangle} is similar to 
@code{string-rectangle}, but inserts the string on each line, 
shifting the original text to the right.
