autocorrect/format spaces between sentences
Using speech to text and program only adds one space between sentences. Is
there a way to setup autocorrect or autoformat to make it two spaces between sentences. When I used spellcheck it automaticially goes to each sentence break for me to add that space but wondered if there is a way to automatically do it. |

autocorrect/format spaces between sentences
There is no automatic way to add extra unnecessary spaces between sentences.
This is a word processor with proportionally spaced fonts. If you want to adopt ancient typewriter practice, then you will have to use the replace function to add them later. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Karen" wrote in message ...

autocorrect/format spaces between sentences
A number of colleges, universities and other institutions require two spaces between sentences. There is a way to have speech to text put in two spaces. I just had to find out how for my dissertation. I now need to figure out how to turn it off. If I find it I will try to post it here. I would also say that there is not full consensus about whether a puctuation mark followed by one space is sufficient to signal a new sentence. There are many exceptions to the "period one-space" sentence signal. You can find lots of discussion on it elsewhere. Dr. W. C. Wiseley Suzanne S.

When I used spellcheck it automaticially goes to each sentence break for me to add that space but wondered if there is a way to automatically do it. The APA has now gone to 2 spaces in v6 (see section 4.01) from one in v5 (section 5.11). It depends on the operating system and version of office on how to change it. Under windows 7: • access the control panel, • access speech recognition, • select advanced speech options, • on the properties page, select 2 as the number of spaces between sentences. • exit saving all the way. If you need the XP solution, it is in a similar place as I remember. Hope this helps. |
