Hello all,

How do i automatically space two times after a punctuation mark?
Pressing the space bar twice is as automatic is you are going to get.
The alternative is to use replace later. You can setup the grammar checker to highlight required spacing, but it will not fix them automatically. Frankly double spacing is a practice hangover from when people used monospaced fonts on a typewriter. A Word processor is not a typewriter and will normally use proportionally spaced fonts thus the double spacing is largely irrelevant. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org us1711 wrote: Hello all, I frequently type reports that need to have two spaces after a period and colon.

Thanks, I think two spaces after a full stop is strongly discouraged with proportional-space fonts. Use of a monospace font for other than specific situations is also strongly discouraged. ;-) |
