Word computation for spacing in text paragraph
In the last two lines of a paragraph, Word has wrapped one word to the next
line, creating many problems for pagination. As an example, I have a paragraph that includes the term "those" and the last word is wrapped to the next line. When I change "those" to "the" (deleting only "os"), the line no longer wraps. However, in that last line, there is about 1/2 inch to the margin, more than enough for those two letters. In fact, I have been wrestling with this problem for a long time. Many of my documents have what seems to be excessive spacing between words, causing many problems with formatting and pagination.. It seems that Word's computation for spaces between words is in error somehow. Does anyone have any experience or ideas on this? Your help will be greatly appreciated. |

Word computation for spacing in text paragraph
The problem is usually line breaks where you should have a paragraph break,
or superfluous white space. Display non-printing characters and check what you've got in there to cause the problem you're seeing. Word's line-break algorithm is pretty cruddy, but it doesn't manifest its shortcomings in the way you describe. "Charlie''s Word VBA questions" m wrote in message ...

Word computation for spacing in text paragraph
It is also often the case that the screen display, especially at certain
zoom settings, is incapable of displaying what will actually print, so the appearance of available space may be deceptive. -- Suzanne S.

Word computation for spacing in text paragraph
There are no manual line breaks or paragraphs -- it is a single paragraph.
There are no special characters -- just straight text. I see this problem in many many other straight text paragraphs. By the way, I am using 12 pt Times New Roman. Thanks for your ideas.
