Expression "made it sure..."

Hi,

I wrote the following para. I am not sure about the bold font part. Can you please comment? You are more than welcome, if you wish to comment on any other sentences too.

[color=blue]I copied a news item from a website and pasted it in a new Word document. Then, using the ‘find and replace function’ in Word , I removed all articles (a, an, and the) from the writing . I made it sure that the remaining writing looked uniform and there were no blank spaces at places from where articles were removed. ( if you leave the blank spaces created from the removal of articles, they act as cues.)

Thanks,

MG.
