Why can I not remove extra spaces from Mail when composing?

I am using Mail Version 8.1 and I cannot find a way to remove extra spaces from between my lines while composing. Every Enter makes the cursor go down two lines and there is no way to type in the space in between. There seems to be now way to see the html or any tags that can be causing this, and I cannot seem to find any setting to change the line spacing either. Does anyone know where to find any of these options so I can simply make the text single space?

Open a message-editing window. Under the Edit menu, deselect all the options in the Spelling and Substitutions sub-menus. Test.

Removing extra spaces from a long document

Hello
I have seen a number of find/change and GREP formulas to do similar things. I have NO scripting or coding experience and have labored to understand GREP.
So I am a little afraid to use it as I don't know what all the modifiers refer to (I do have a printout of some neat GREP cheatsheets like Mike Witherell's that I can absorb until I obtain a good reference )
I need something I can copy and paste into either find/change or GREP dialog that will do the following in less than 12 steps (hopefully) without doing something catastrophic like removing all of my paragraph marks (which I almost did using someones GREP expression)
No spaces before any comma, period, exclamation mark, question mark, colon, semicolon
One space only after any of those
One Space before any opening parenthesis and one space after the closing parenthesis
No space after the opening parenthesis or before the closing parenthesis
Remove any double or extra spaces ( en, em etc.)
Remove any commas before parentheses
Remove any spaces after a paragraph mark
I think that's it
I did find this one recently (Maybe Jongware?)
[~m~>~f~|~S~s<~/~,~3~4%]{2
Which from my dim understanding addresses em, en, flush and hair space , nonbreaking space ,figure space,third space--not sure of the rest. Really this is way over my head.
I know this will be a piece of cake for you guys
Thanks

A: Removing extra spaces from a long document

Peter is too modest, he's doing just great.
No space BEFORE-One Space after ---period,semicolon,colon, exclamation, question mark,CLOSING Parenth,Bracket,Brace, single & Dbl. quotation marks
Find (\s)([.,;:!\)\]\}~}~]])
Replace with $2
No space AFTER-One Space Before----OPENING bracket,brace,parenthesis,Dbl & single quotes
Find ([\[\{$~{~[])(\s)
Replace with $1
These remove the space before/after but do not automatically add a space after/before.
In the first case, you could add a space right after the '$2' in the Replace With string, but it already may have a space, in which case you suddenly have two. One alternative is to optionally remove it with the Find string (add it as an optional match) and always add it with the Replace string, but remember that this string will only be found if there is a space preceding it. That way you'd only check the space after in cases where there was a bad space before.
So I propose you add another two find/changes to add the space, only when necessary.
One Space After: find
([.,;:!$\]\}~}~]])(?!\s)
replace:
$0 [followed by one single space]
One Space Before: find
(?<!\s)([\[\{$~{~[])
replace:
[one single space] $0
Color-coding with my WhatTheGrep might make it just a tad clearer what's going on in that jumble of codes:
(1 [ .,;:! $ \] \} ~} ~] ] 1) (?!! \s !)
and
(?<!<! \s <!) (1 [ \[ \{ \( ~{ ~[ ] 1)
(Orange is lookahead/lookbehind, blue is a regular escaped character, pink is an InDesign special character, green is normal grouping parentheses, and lavender is a character group.)

Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library

Hey cjt101,
Thanks for the question. Was this song purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, it may be that your device is configured to show all of your purchased music that has not yet been downloaded. The following resource may resolve your issue:

How to remove extra spaces from Data Matrix Label?

Hi All,
Kindly let me know how we can remove extra spaces from Data Matrix Label.
Suppose we have this following code in SO10.
^FO1380,1879^COY,78^BY4^BXR,6,200^FH^FD[)>_1E06_1DF01001T_1D6JUN&v_huf&&v_hul&_1DV&v_supnum1&_1D16K&v_del&_1D6D&v_flddat1&095_1D2L&v_unload&_1D
P&v_article&_1D4L&v_madein&_1D_1E_04^FS.
Variable have there own value. and the desired result will be shown like the attachment.
But in my code it splits into new line when CMIR value has 3 spaces.
If CMIR value is 1S0 820 355 A . then it creats a new line.
Kindly suggest me any possible solution.
Thanks,
Partha

Hi Gaurav,
In print preview we can't see any space or new line. But when it scanned by TSB (barcode scanner) it will generate a new line when there is 3 space CMIR value.
So where should I write SHIFT CMIR LEFT DELETING LEADING space this code?
Because there is no space coming at the time of debugging or print preview.
And in SO10 the code written as
^FO1380,1879^BY4^BXR,6,200^FH^FD[)>
Here CMIR value is 1SO 820 303 A
and generated output is like this.
And desired output should be like this.

Why can I not print a PDF from an email?

Why can I not print a PDF from an email any longer?

Can you explain in better detail?
Is it when you open the file attachment and attempt to Print?
Is it right-mouse clicking and attempting to Print?
Is it when you print the email itself and expect the attachment to Print?

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8, for the simple reason it was
created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
current version for compatibility.

Why can I not put a picture from camera roll into an album?

Why can I not put a picture from my camera roll into an album now? When I try these are greyed out. I created these albums on my ipad too but ever since I updated to IOS 7 this can't be done, it was so easy before.

I can now answer my own question as I've worked it out. For those who are interested click on Shared Streams then on album you require photo to be in then click on the empty box with a cross in the centre and choose photo you wish to add.

Why can I not import the videos from my iPhone 4 onto my desktop (Windows Vista)? When I plug in it imports the photos without a problem but it doesn't seem to import the videos.

1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Why can I not download Playstation games from the market

This is what the PLAY store says for all the games that sony of america has published for this phone. WHY can I not download these games on Verizon. Its not like they are competing, these games are not available in the Vcast store. Can you please fix, along with fixing the Google sync problem in 2.3.4

Thanks but this IS a carrier problem, hence the "not available on your carrier". Sony directs you to verizon when you want to know why it doesn't work.... So verizon, why doesn't it work?
