You can do this by selecting the text, right click on text and click Font, then go to the advanced tab To change the width of the space between the words I would change the font settings of the text. This is what I would have to do in Word 2003. Changing the character spacing within the font itself seems to help, or simply choosing a different font.Įdited to add: In fact, I can see the decreased spacing after the l's in this post.Įdited by Orange Blossom, 19 June 2011 - 03:28 PM. Sometimes I fixed it on a letter by letter basis within the document, but that is time consuming. For some reason, the program allows less space after, for example, an l than after an e or an s. I have sometimes found the spacing to be too close between letters. Sometimes the font type will affect word and letter spacing. This is the first setting I check when I have spacing issues. At times it will be very tight and others stretched out. That makes both the left and right edges perfectly vertical, but the spacing between letters and words gets very odd. What you want to avoid is the type of justification that aligns both edges. If you are right-justified, you will have a straight edge on the right. If you are left-justified, you will have a straight line on the left edge.
Justification has to do with vertical alignment.
SPACING BETWEEN WORDS IN WORD 2016 HOW TO
However, all I get is character and line spacing troubleshooting, which is not what my problem is.ĭoes anyone have a good idea why Word does this (as it apparently does it by default) and how to turn it off?Įdited by HamSandwich, 16 June 2011 - 06:54 PM. I would rather like a fixed rate at which words are spaced.Īs I said, I have looked this up for weeks trying different search queries and different combinations of terms to try and find what I am looking for. I do not want Word automatically adjusting the spacing between words in order to make a "pretty" line of words. I am only having an issue with the distance between the words themselves. I have no problem with single and double spacing nor the spacing between characters within the same word. I have looked up and attempted to execute line spacing and character spacing to no avail. This creates a strange looking set of words across a line when the spacing is different between each word. 'teaching position' looks like 'teachingposition' because of the small amount of space between the two words) while others look as if a small word (like 'a' or 'I') could possibly fit between them (e.g. For example, some words look almost as if they are one large word (e.g. I understand the purpose of this, but it is getting very distracting and confusing in my written pieces. I assume that Word is automatically trying to fit as much information on one line as possible by adding or subtracting small amounts of space (smaller than what the spacebar can do) between words. In Word 2010 (I think 2007 did the same thing), the spacing between words is different depending on the words and how they fit together on the line. I unfortunately have not found anything that covers the specific aspect of Word I am discussing. I have been looking for an answer to this question for a few weeks now.
