I would rather like a fixed rate at which words are spaced.Īs I said, I have looked this up for weeks trying different search queries and different combinations of terms to try and find what I am looking for. I do not want Word automatically adjusting the spacing between words in order to make a "pretty" line of words. I am only having an issue with the distance between the words themselves.

I have no problem with single and double spacing nor the spacing between characters within the same word. I have looked up and attempted to execute line spacing and character spacing to no avail. This creates a strange looking set of words across a line when the spacing is different between each word. 'teaching position' looks like 'teachingposition' because of the small amount of space between the two words) while others look as if a small word (like 'a' or 'I') could possibly fit between them (e.g. For example, some words look almost as if they are one large word (e.g. I understand the purpose of this, but it is getting very distracting and confusing in my written pieces. I assume that Word is automatically trying to fit as much information on one line as possible by adding or subtracting small amounts of space (smaller than what the spacebar can do) between words. In Word 2010 (I think 2007 did the same thing), the spacing between words is different depending on the words and how they fit together on the line. I unfortunately have not found anything that covers the specific aspect of Word I am discussing.

I have been looking for an answer to this question for a few weeks now.
