How To Fix The Space Between Words In Office For Mac

Posted on

It’s frustrating having programs screw up on you when there’s a pressing deadline to meet. Mac office 365 check for update. Today while editing my 40-page behemothof a PW report (before adding all figures, tables and double-spacing and enlarging the fonts) I was unlucky enough to encounter this issue: After the footnote divider line, but before the footnotes themselves, there would be a huge expanse of blank space.

It was wreaking havoc on my formatting and turning all my tables into multiple-paged impossible-to-read clusters of cells. Turns out this is caused by something called a footnote separator which you have to go to Draft mode (under the View tab in MS Word 07 and up) to edit it. • Go to the View tab, then choose Draft. • Go to the References tab and click Show Footnotes. (On Macs, go to View > Footnotes – thanks to commenter Gerard for spotting this) • In the drop-down list that appears in the Footnotes area, choose Footnote Separator. • Delete any extra spaces, carriage returns etc. It’s handy to have “show non-printing characters” switched on.

• Repeat for the other one – I think it was Continuous Footnote Separator. • Go back to View and switch back to Print Layout. If this was helpful, let me know in a comment! Shameless plug for my. Update: Commenter GE suggests that copying and pasting your entire document into a new file may also get rid of the problem.

Just select the text you want to fix and hit this key combination (hold down your Control key and press the space bar). CTRL+Q – This removes all paragraph-level formatting—weird indents, line spacing, extra spacing before and after the paragraphs, etc. Re: Spacing between footnotes by MacPhisto » Mon Mar 16, 2009 1:26 pm I noticed that I could copy the whole contents of the document—including the footnotes—at once, then when I pasted them in a new document, the spacing was done correctly; it may be a helpful workaround, though not perfect.

If you open the document, you'll see that the last sentence is currently two 'words' and OO.o has inserted a huuuuge space between the two. I have verified that it is a space and not a tab character.

I have also verified that it is a single space character and not multiple space characters. The second word is actually two words run together. Inserting a space in the middle gives a three-word sentence in which the spaces between words are much too big. Justification is turned off in my OO.o. Turning justification on (by clicking the 'justify' button on the toolbar) and then off (by clicking the 'left-align' button) does not remove the problem.

I am using OO.o 3.0.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.11 ('Tiger'), but this problem is also present on my other machine, which is Ubuntu Hardy Heron running OO.o 2.4. Pdf exchange for mac. The problem persists across a variety of fonts although it is more glaringly obvious in some fonts than others. Is there some other setting I need to switch off, apart from justification? Or should I file a bug report? Thanks in advance. Attachments (29.25 KiB) Downloaded 680 times Posts: 3 Joined: Mon Oct 20, 2008 6:33 pm. It seems to be a bug that occurs when the last line of text is close to the bottom margin.

There is no such problem when reproducing the text in Draw. Changing the font is OK unless the text is a similar size to Comic Sans, then the problem occurs again. The large space is just a regular space, but it is being expanded, and is not shown with View, non-printing characters is on. Replacing the space with a non-breaking, fixed width space, just shifts the problem to between older > group. Copying the text as plain text to a new document, then reformatting it with Comic Sans 60 point, blue and red, centre justified, fixed the problem. So the bug is still eluding me.
