Can I set word to have a double space after every full stop?
I edit a regular document using a word template and want to have a double
space after every full stop. Can this be set up in the template to do this automatically? |

There is no way to make Word do this automatically, but the grammar checker
has a setting where you can choose your preferred number of spaces after a period (one, two, or no preference), and Word will mark as "incorrect" any deviation from that preference. -- Suzanne S.

Can I set word to have a double space after every full stop?
Ms. Barnhill,
I use Word for the Mac in Office 2004. I want to turn off automatic double spacing between paragraphs. I’ve gone to Format Paragraph Lines and spacing And set “before” and “after” to 0 pt.and ald chosen “single spacing.” This worked in one document but not in another. I tried opening a new blank document and pasting the text from the problem document into it, but the double spacing was still there. With each new version of Word there are more features that one has to struggle against. May I suggest a toggle button where one can choose between “officious” and “not officious” or “annoying” and “not annoying.” "Suzanne S.

Format | Paragraph only changes the settings for the selection. To change
the actual defaults, you will have to modify the Normal style of the Normal template. If you want detailed steps, you should ask in a MacWord newsgroup. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "keithsmd" wrote in message ... Ms. Barnhill, I use Word for the Mac in Office 2004.

In addition to what Stefan has said, you would need to begin a new thread
since your question has nothing to do with spacing after periods (full stops) but with line spacing after paragraphs. -- Suzanne S.
