Word is BUGGY!
Try this:
1. Set Word to flag multiple spaces after a full stop. 2. Type three sentences. 3. Insert a second space after the period at the end of the first sentence. Word should flag it with a green wiggly underline. 4. Place the cursor between the two spaces and press Delete. Word continues to flag the error that is no longer there. 5. Retype the period. The error flag goes away. This does not occur if the extra space is deleted using backspace or if the first space is deleted. Did anyone with a pulse test this thing? |

Agreed 5. Retype the period. The error flag goes away. Don't you mean re-type the space? The period is still there. Pressing delete removes the space. The error flag however remains in place, but is removed from between sentence 2 and sentence 3. Restore the space and the flag remains missing from between sentence 2 and 3 until the cursor is moved away. This does not occur if the extra space is deleted using backspace or if the first space is deleted. Correct Did anyone with a pulse test this thing? There is no such thing as bug free software. In the wider scheme of things, this one is hardly momentous but is another justification for turning off grammar checking while you type. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |

FWIW, this function works perfectly for a one or two space setting between
sentences in Word 2010. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Catch 23" wrote in message ... Try this: 1. Set Word to flag multiple spaces after a full stop. 2. Type three sentences. 3.

Deleting the second space as I described fixes the grammar error, but Word continues to flag what is no longer an error. Retyping the period (apparently) causes Word to reexamine it is discover that it is no longer in error. |

This is not limited to the grammar checker. I often find that spelling
errors continue to be flagged even after I've corrected them. If I page down and back up or switch to Print Preview or do something else to refresh the display, this usually clears the formatting. -- Suzanne S.
