There is no way to set up Word to do this as you type. After you have
finished, you could use EditReplace to replace one space with two spaces. -- Hope this helps.

Doug's given the obvious answer. But the obvious question is why do you want
to do this? (Just curious.) "karen" wrote in message ... how do i set it up to have double spaces between each word . so instead of it looking like this it would look like this ? |

Karen, if you must spread apart your text, do it instead with Format--Font,
Character spacing tab, Spacing setting. That way, you can get rid of it any time you want without placing or deleting all those characters. But I don't recommend it either. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "karen" wrote in message ... how do i set it up to have double spaces between each word . so instead of it looking like this it would look like this ? |

Just press the space-bar in the "Search for"-box, put a checkmark in the box "Select all elements in:" and click Search for all. Then you can apply character spacing from Format - Font - Character spacing. Set it to the same number of points as your font size. To reset it: Select all text (Ctrl + A), apply a different spacing and then normal spacing. -- Fredrik E. Nilsen |
