Spaces within printed words
When I print a Word document that has 'justified'
margins, there are occasional spaces within words that make the document look sloppy. Why does this happen? How can this be corrected? Is there some kind of 'patch' that Microsoft provides to correct this problem? Please help. |

To make all the lines end at the same position on the right margin, spaces are padded. Use only left justification. You are not printing a newspaper so people expect ragged right edges. -- Earl F.

Spaces within printed words
What Earl said. Also check to make sure "dispersed paragraph formatting" has
not been applied in error instead of "justified". "Dispersed" is available only in most recent versions. Spaces might be added within words to give even left and right margins. Applied by highlighting and pressing Ctrl + J (shift j). Pressing Ctrl + j (no shift j). It also might be worth checking for a more recent printer driver for your printer. Driver problems can cause the symptom. -- Tom MSMVP PS-D "Dolores" wrote in message ...
