period adds spaces automatically
I just set up our new computer with Word 2003 (actually Office). As of set
up, Word automatically adds two spaces after every period. This creates a problems when I type numbers with decimals - which I need to do quite often. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

This is not built into Word. At a guess, someone has added it as an
AutoCorrect entry. Look for it in the list in Tools | AutoCorrect Options and delete the entry. -- Suzanne S.

I find that I can't add such an entry (e.g., .space|.spacespace) to
AutoCorrect. Another possibility is that DRP has an add-in of some kind that's running interference. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

Thanks to you both. The problem was really another program called instatext.
Switching keyboards seemed to help, but I realized in another document that the problem was still there. Instatext had settings on auto spacing and capitalization.
