In the Spacing dropdowns, set Expanded and 3 pt (or as much as you want to move the next character to the right) or set it to Condensed and 3 pt to move the next character to the left. Another way is to use the Advance field. With the cursor just to the left of the character you want to move, go to Insert Field and select Advance from the list. Check one of the boxes for "Offset text left" or "Offset text right" and put the measurement in the box to its right. Click OK. -- 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. |

moving character 1/2 space in Word
Jay has suggested some approaches, but it might be better if we knew why you
were trying to do this, as there's likely a better way to accomplish what you're after. For example, if you're trying to align text on several lines, you may need to use a tab stop. -- Suzanne S.
