Non Breaking Space
A friend, who does not have internet access, has asked me to post this
question for him. He uses Word from Office XP and most of his typing is in French using Arial font. He has paragraph formatting displayed when typing and has found that every time he types a question mark (and other punctuation marks) a non breaking space is placed between the end of the word and the punctuation mark, whereas he wants no space between them. We cannot find a way to stop this happening, can some kind person advise us please. Keith Willcocks |

Non Breaking Space
When your language is set to French this AutoFormat is controlled by the
"Smart Quotes" option. He can just press Ctrl+Z when it happens to undo the AutoFormat or he can switch the option off .. Tools AutoCorrect AutoFormat As You Type tab. Uncheck "Replace straight quotes with smart quotes" He might also want to make the same change under the AutoFormat tab Note that this will also switch off options he may want, like the French double chevron quote marks. -- Enjoy, Tony "Keith Willcocks" wrote in message ...
