Sometimes, as a result of unsuccessful use of formatting commands or after converting text from one standard to another, the spacing between words becomes too large or uneven. This defect significantly spoils the overall impression of a text document and needs to be fixed. This can be done using the capabilities of the word processor itself.
Instructions
Step 1
If the interval between words needs to be removed in the most radical way, that is, to reduce it to zero, then this means the need to remove from the text the signs that separate words - spaces. This can be done using the find and replace dialog. Typically, this dialog box is invoked by the hotkey combination ctrl + r or ctrl + h. Enter a space in the Find field and leave the Replace With field blank. After that click the "Replace All" button and the text editor will destroy the spacing between words.
Step 2
If the spacing is not the same size, then the reason may be that the formatting command "fit to width" was applied to the text. This means that the text editor moves the words in the line so that the rightmost position is occupied by the last letter of the last word. To do this, he has to increase the spacing between some words. To undo this alignment in the Microsoft Word word processor, first press ctrl + a and then ctrl + l.
Step 3
Sometimes, as a result of converting a document from one format to another (for example, the text copied in the browser window is pasted into the Word document window), the spaces between words in some text fragments are filled with tabs instead of spaces. Such intervals appear excessively large and uneven. Replace tabs with spaces to normalize spacing. This can be done, for example, like this: first type one tab character, select it and cut it (ctrl + x). Then open the find and replace dialog (ctrl + r or ctrl + h), paste the contents of the clipboard (tab character) into the "Find" field, and in the "Replace with" field, enter a space. Then click the "Replace All" button.
