Option to flag double-space after full stop? (Word 2007)
Is there a Word 2007 option to flag double spaces after a full stop?
I believe the recommended style with proportional fonts is to use just a single space. Correct? |

You can set up in the grammar checker the number of spaces you wish to have.
Double spacing is still widely used but is an unnecessary throwback to the age of the typewriter. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sesquipedalian Sam wrote: Is there a Word 2007 option to flag double spaces after a full stop?

In Word 2007, it's * Word Options * Proofing * When correcting spelling and grammar in Word * Writing style: * Settings * Spaces required between sentences Curiously, this is one of several settings that is maintained twice, once when Writing style is set to "Grammar Only" and once when it is set to "Grammar & Style". If you switch between the two Writing style settings, you need to set the Spaces required setting twice. I think Word's proliferation of options has exceeded the capacity of the programmers to control. |
