MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / May 2008Accidental 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. 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.  SignatureSuzanne 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.

That's actually pretty useful, especially for users who use spaces instead of tabs (or in lieu of centering). SignatureSuzanne S.
