Answer: I want to insert half of a space instead of a whole space in word.
Yes, you can insert half a space in Microsoft Word. Here's how:
Now you have a half-space character that you can use in your document. Simply type a regular space, then insert the half-space character before typing the next word. The half-space character will be half the width of a regular space, allowing you to create more precise spacing between words.

There is no shortcut key assigned to it by default, but you can assign one by clicking the Shortcut Key button in the dialog. If you don't need it often, you can just type the number 2002 in the document and press Alt+X. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

There are two others, "thin space" at 2009 and "hair space" at 200A, that may suit your needs better. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

creating a half space in a document
Thanks for your extra suggestions about the possibility of "thin space" and "hair space" which, until I read your reply, I was completely unaware.
I can see how "hair space" could be very useful for many writers who like to allow a little extra space before a question or exclamation mark. Such marks can get lost under modern word-processing/typesetting but the use of a full space can be too much and also increases the possibility of the mark dropping down to the next line as an orphan. Is there any way of automating the insertion of a "hair space" so that instead of typing in 200A followed by ALT+X, the writer simply presses a ? but will get it displayed preceded with an "hair space" ? ps I use Word 2003 - but I'm not aware that either 2007 or 2010 versions make allowance for this.

creating a half space in a document
Simply set up an "AutoCorrect As You Type" entry, with the question
mark in the first column and the small space and question mark in the second column. (Note that when Word is set to French language, it uses nonbreaking space, not thin space, before such punctuation. But in typing English, whether to add space before a question mark surely depends on the font you're using?)

creating a half space in a document
Depending on how often you need to do it: if it is only now and again, I
achieve odd spacings by simply making the space a different point size. Do similar with line spacing when trying to cram stuff into text boxes. S "Alan Essex" wrote in message ...
