Accidental double spaces between words
In Word 2003, is there a way to catch the mistake of putting two spaces
between words instead of a single space? I'm thinking there should be an option in Auto Correct or somewhere in Word. I'm thinking I've seen the double space error highlighted with a little squiggly line at one point. |

Accidental double spaces between words
In the Grammar settings, you can choose the number of spaces you want
between *sentences.* If you select 1, Word will mark two spaces as incorrect, but only (I suspect) in situations it deems to be "between sentences." I generally handle this by running Find over a document when editing is complete, replacing two spaces with one, just in case there are any I haven't caught. -- Suzanne S.

Spelling & Grammar Check will flag 2 spaces between words even if the
Grammar settings are set to not check spaces between sentences... however, it won't flag occurrences of *3 or more* consecutive spaces. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "BJ" wrote in message ...

That's actually pretty useful, especially for users who use spaces instead
of tabs (or in lieu of centering). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "CyberTaz" typegeneraltaz1ATcomcastdotnet wrote in message ...
