Office 2010 spaces between words not consistent

Hello all,
I recently switched from Office 2003 to Office 2010. Since the switch I notice that the spaces between words are not consistent in length.
I selected the spaces individually and even in the selection you see differences in the size of the spaces.
This example is from a PPT using Ariel, 18 font size.
Things I've tried so far:
I've tried disabling kerning, but that makes the font look really bad. I also tried adjusting the character spacing and while this does solve the issue on an individual basis, I don't have the time to go over every space in a document or presentation to fix
this issue.
The text is aligned left and I've verified that there is only one space between the words.
I tried the same document on 2 different pc's. One of Windows 7, the other on Windows 8.1. Both have this issue with Office 2010. 2 Different computers using Office 2013 do not have this spacing issue.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue with Office 2010? Is there a fix?
Thanks in advance,
Zjef

Hi Zjef,
Generally, in Word, spaces should be consistent for all texts, unless you have your paragraph set to "Justify" which means to stretch out the text to fill the entire space within the margin.
So please first check if you have this option selected for your text.
Also, have you ever tried to print it out and check if it's the same as on the screen? Sometime word will adjust the space to improve document readability, which vary by screen sizes, video cards, etc.

How can i write with double spaces between words ?

hello everyone,
i need to write in pages with double spaces between words not between lines ..
how can i do it and make it default ?
for now, just write and click space bar twice ..!!!

Do you really need to do this? It is so ugly and illegible.
You can use a monospace font or use the auto-complete in Menu > Pages > Preferences to auto-substitute 2 spaces for each one.

Find space between word with different endings and digit

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to find spaces between word and digit.
I am limited to use only word 'WORD' (either capital or small caps) with different endings like -ing -s -y and more (using \S+).
I wrote something like (?i)(?<=WORD\S+)\s(?=\d+) but this does not seem to work due to some limitation of lookahead I belive?
Any suggestions?
Peter

… find what: (\<WORD\S+)(\s)(?=\d)
change to: $1~s
Hmmh?
Your Grep do not find your first example: WORD 0,2 (WORD without any ending)
And you don't need the second ()
And please do not use \S
Use this instead:
(\<WORD\l*)\s(?=\d)
(l is the little L)
Have fun

Sapscript - Repited spaces between words

Hi friends.
I'm working on a ZMEDRUCK sapscript and when printing a line item, the item text (field EKPO-TXZ01) is being printed with spaces between words.
E.g.:
Original value in EKPO-TXZ01: material test.
Printed: material ...(two or more spaces)... test.
This also happened with other text variable, but stopped happen when I formated with <K> text </>.
But in this case, its not working. I'm using standard IT Paragraph format.
What to do to take out the repited spaces ?

Hi Atul.
I have already tested (C) statement in this variable and performs too.
There are more texts with same problem. Literal words have same problem too in address in the header.
I've already tryied copting standards paragraphs too, but without sucess.
A friend concultant said to me to make a test with a new paragraph with LEFT alignment only and LEFT alignment to all tabulators. I'll try that once and give feedback here.
Any other idea ?
thanks.

Why is illustrator CS6 omitting the spaces between words?

Out of the blue, my type tool has been acting funny in Illustrator CS6. Generally my text boxes or bounding boxes are outlined in blue. However, now they are black. I'm not sure what instigated the change. Now I am typing in illustrator and it won't show any spaces between words. Everythinglookslikethis. In the character pannel, the kerning is set to auto and tracking is set to 0. Does anyone know what is going on? What are these black text boxes of death?

Creating a new layer changes its selection color. Look in the Layer's panel and double click the layer to change its color.

Not sure but, try changing the font.
You can also try the word spacing options in Justification from the flyout menu of the Paragraph panel

When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc, it pastes with no spaces between words. How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue.

When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc (onto Facebook status bar, for example) it pastes with no spaces between words. I.e: "The manhadajugofcoolwaterand offeredmeadrink." How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue. I'm new to Apple so any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I can't speak about this occurring with FaceBook since I don't use FaceBook, but I see the same type of thing when I copy and pasted from websites. It doesn't always happen and I cannot find any particular set of circumstances under which it occurs or does not occur.
I am merely responding to let you know that it happens to me as well and I have seen no way to correct it. I'm not so sure that there is a way to correct in in that it may have something to do with how the original text is formatted in the PDF or on the website and how it eventually "fits" into the text field or the area in which it is pasted.

HT1900 I want to add space between songs, not shrink it. Can I do that?

I want to add space between songs, not shrink it. Can I do that?

Actually, it is possible to add a gap - to a Playlist of songs.
If you want to add a time gap between songs (that wasn't on the album), in iTunes, or for use on an iDevice, this is possible, by creating a Playlist of the songs and adding a new specially created "song file" between each song. You can whatever gap you want.
If this is what you want, post back and I can give you details.

Acrobat 11 Standard Office 2010 Pro Convert Word documents to PDF not working

Adobe community,
I can create PDF's inside Word 2010 using the Acrobat Add-in but right clicking a Word document or dragging a Word document into Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard does not work. I have updated both Acrobat 11 and Office 2010 with the latest updates available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi markl16215442,
In order to convert word document to PDF by right-clicking or dragging the file, you must have Adobe PDF printer installed.
For Windows, please check that Adobe PDF is set as default printer under "Start > Devices and Printers"
While for MAC, Adobe PDF printer option is no more available and as it was removed with some changes in Apple's policy regarding virtual printers.
So, check with your OS and then let me know.

Justify tracking? That is, justify letters, not the space between words...

I know this question might be kind of hard to understand... Okay, so usually you justify type, and you can get some rivers, right? I've been reading this book, and the type is set in a way where there are no rivers. The type is justified, but it seems as if the individual letters are justified (like the tracking) rather than the words. The space differs from each word's letters, and not the space between each word. Attached are some photos of the book in question.
Exaggerated examples of what I am trying to say.
The book's layout:
H e l l o m y n a m e i s L a n d o n.
Normal Justification:
Hello my name is Landon.
Thanks!

Yes, InDesign allows this. Look in the Justification options: the default settings are to adjust Word Spacing from 80% to 133%, with a preferred value of 100% (which is in Space Widths), and Letter Spacing has all set to 0%, meaning it should not be touched. (I may have set these as defaults. YMMV.)
To achieve this effect, you could -- at least theoretically -- set "Word Spacing" to 100%,100%,100% and set Letter Spacing to something like -5%,0%,20%. Be warned though that in this case, InDesign will Do What You Ask, but that this will not "thus" make Good Typography!
With slightly more sane settings, Word Spacing at 90%,100%,110% and Letter Spacing at 0%,0%,20% (note I don't touch the "Minimum"!), you get something like this. Top: regular settings, bottom: adjusted.

XML in Flash Taking out the "space" between words

I have a xml document that flash reads to pull random words
from it. I replace the letters of the words with a character, right
now its a minus sign (-). What I am haveing problem with is I don't
want the spaces between the words to be replaced. I want them to be
ignored but still have the space between the words. Example: "big
dog" would be (--- ---). Is there a way to have flash recognize
this "space" and not replace it with anything?
Thanks,
Luke

I think the XML aspect is irrelevant here... all you want to
do is disguise regular text right? There's probably a more
efficient way to do this, but here's a start anyhow.

Missing spaces between words after importing Word document into RoboHelp HTML version 8

I created a 400+ page document in Word 2007 and imported it into RoboHelp 8 (HTML, not RoboHelp for Word). In many places, the space between a bold word and a non-bold word is no longer there. I would like to avoid having to go through the entire RH document to replace the spaces manually. Did I import incorrectly?

Looks perfect, works terribly...
Things to consider:
Chances are, the different treatments of the space are due to whether the space was included in the bolding of the word in MS Word.
Additionally, since Word files contain much underlying binary code (macros and such), your security settings might or might not be playing well with the Word stuff.
Are you importing the Word file from a network location, or from your local machine? Network traffic might be partially impacting the import, too.
Bottom line? You'll probably need to clear all formatting in the Word file and redo the formatting properly. To test this, cut a couple of pages into a new Word file, clear and redo the formatting in Word, import the Word file into another RH project, and see what results you get.
To clear the formatting:
Select text.
On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Clear Formatting.
Redo the formatting, being careful to not format the spaces.
Good luck,
Leon

GW dropping spaces between words in long Subject Lines

It this a known issue with GWIA perhaps?
On our system (703HP3) at least I can produce the issue by typing a very
long subject line in the email. I sent a single message to my internal GW
account and to my internet alias. When I received the email to my internal
GW account the space was not removed but it was removed in the email sent to
my internet alias. In the message source the subject is correct. What seems
to be happening is that any word or text after the 60 character spot removes
that space between the word or text.
Has anyone seen this in their environment?
Thanks!
Lee

Thanks Jeff. We are actually experiencing it on the HP4 GWIA as well. If
it is a simple fix that can be added that would be great! If not I
understand and I will get the word out to our customers about it being a
known issue with GroupWise. Please let me know...
Thanks,
Lee

Excel (Office 2010 64 bit) will not connect to Oracle DB not matter what I try

Hello Everyone,
I started a new role that requires me to interact with an Oracle DB using Excel. Currently I have both the 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle clients installed on my Windows 7 PC.
Firstly I can TNSPing the database I need to connect to, I can also connect using SQLPlus to the desired database, I can even connect using TOAD.
No matter what I try I cannot connect using Excel VBA (Office 2010 64 bit).
The process below used to work for me in a different location, now the objDatabase always is returned "Empty"
Set objSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
Set objDataBase = objSession.OpenDatabase("database server", "user name/passsword", 0&)
I am not even able to set up a simple ODBC connection working. I get a error "ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable."
When using a ADODB connection I get this error. Run time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and default driver specified.
I have place the TNSNames file in both Oracle Home's
I have even reinstalled Office 2010.

Hi,
The 12577 error (12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable) is related to Windows Environment or Oracle Home PATH because sqlplus command works smoothly when I execute it inside ORACLE_HOME\bin.
There are two solutions to this issue:
1. Put the Oracle DB Home in front of the other paths in the PATH environment variable.
2. Remove ORACLE_HOME From environment Variable and re-boot PC

Windows 7 (64bit) & Office 2010 (32bit) Excel 'Document not saved' over WAN to network drive

Hi All
We are currently in the process of upgrading all PC's on our WAN to windows 7 across multiple locations
I know this has been asked numerous times but nothing is working for me.
We are experiencing the dreaded 'Document not saved' error at only some locations (5 or 6 out of 200 for all users, these sites generally have slow network connections) when trying to save to a network share back at our HQ. it creates a .tmp file and leaves
the original document intact but without the changes, changing the name of the document in save as doesn't work. saving locally and copying to the share works. We can save locally and to other onsite network shares. It constantly happens so the document can
never be saved to that network share.
Always worked on XP SP3 with Office 2010.
the files in question are around 4mb. smaller excel files with no contenct do work.
I have tried literally everything listed on all forums and nothing seems to resolve it...I've tried
- the hotfix - doesn't apply to my enviroment and the offending KB aren't installed.
- the network resiliency, pivot table network resiliency and Enable simply copy for UNC registry keys
- disabling offline folders, windows search and indexing
- disabling SMB2 on the client
- turning off QOS on the IP4 settings.
- trusted documents.
event log gives
Log Name: OAlerts
Source: Microsoft Office 14 Alerts
Date: 28/03/2014 18:47:23
Event ID: 300
Task Category: None
Level: Information
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Description:
Microsoft Excel
Document not saved.
P1: 100490
P2: 14.0.7015.1000
P3: xsmh
P4: 0x80070040
and numerous other things.
My guess is me the issue points to Excel loosing connection to the network share when saving and then the .tmp becoming corrupt.
Does any one have any ideas? Is there a way to sure the connection when saving? is there a way to force it to stay connected?
any help highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello, We've been having this same issue, and I think we have a work-around.
If we change HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters\RequireSecuritySignature from "0" to "1" we still get the error message but the tmp file is NOT created. If the user tries to save again, it is then successful.
