Word For Mac 2018 Tab Goes Too Far

Posted on by admin

Have you ever tried to block justify your paragraphs (make your right margin even) in a Word document and ended up with an amateurish look of too much space between words? Try this instead (Word versions 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013+ listed).

Start quickly with the most recent versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote and OneDrive —combining the familiarity of Office and the unique Mac features you love. Be more productive Find the feature you need fast and create documents more easily with built-in automated design and research tools. The Select Objects tool is the large white arrow on the far left, next to the Draw menu button. Word 2007 and above: On the Home tab, in the Editing group (far right), click on Select and choose Select Objects. Footnote and endnote separators. By default, Word separates footnotes and endnotes from the body text with lines of various lengths. Word makes listening possible by using the text-to-speech (TTS) ability of your device to play back written text as spoken words. There are multiple tools for listening to your Word documents: Read Aloud reads all or part of your document. You can use Read Aloud on its own or within Immersive Reader for Word in Windows and MacOS. On your Mac, do any of the following: Switch to the previous app: Press Command-Tab. Scroll through all open apps: Press and hold the Command key, press the Tab key, then press the Left or Right arrow key until you get to the app you want. Release the Command key. Go down to the next page below the section break (in this example, the first page of Chapter I), and click on the page number in the Footer. If your cursor is in the Footer, you should see 'Footer -Section #-' to the left, and 'Same as Previous' on the right. You should also see a new tab appear on the menu, labeled 'Header & Footer Tools.

  1. Select the text you want to block justify.
  2. Right-click on the text, and click Paragraph.
  3. On the Indents and Spacing tab, click the drop-down next to Alignment, and click Justified, OK.
  4. Right-click on the text again, and click Format, Font.
  5. Tick the Kerning for fonts box (on the Character Spacing tab, and set font size to match the size of the font in your paragraph* (kerning is the spacing between characters and each font set has its own kerning). Spacing should be set at Normal.**But play around with this until you’re satisfied by changing everything in this step. Also try using “condensed” and alter the spacing until you’re satisfied.
  6. Click OK.

To fine-tune the spacing (Word 2003)

  1. Click the Tools menu, Options. Then click the Compatibility tab.
  2. Tick “Do full justification like WordPerfect...”
  3. Click OK.

To fine-tune the spacing (Word 2007)

  1. Click the Office button, Word Options, Advanced.
  2. Go to absolute bottom of Advanced options, and click to expand Layout Options.
  3. Tick “Do full justification like WordPerfect...” (this Options list is in alphabetical order)
  4. Click OK.

To fine-tune the spacing (Word 2010).

  1. Click the File tab, Options, Advanced.
  2. Go to absolute bottom of the Advanced options, and click to expand Layout Options.
  3. Tick “Do full justification like WordPerfect...” (this Options list is in alphabetical order).

To fine-tune the spacing (Word 2013 and above).

Justification has been fixed so it’s no longer necessary to change anything. If you end up with text with too much spacing on a short sentence, read below.

Fixing a Short Sentence

If you ever have a very short sentence at the end of a paragraph that spreads out in spite of your adjustments, click behind the last character of that paragraph, and press Tab to close it up. Occasionally, you’ll have to reword to fill up space.

UPDATE: In Word 2013:

  • Click the File tab, Options, Advanced.
  • Go to absolute bottom of the Advanced options, and click to expand Layout Options.
  • Tick “Don’t expand character spaces on a line that ends with SHIFT-RETURN“.

This tip does not work if you use the Courier font. This is a monospaced (or non-proportional) font which is a typewriter-like, fixed-width font, and each letter occupies the same amount of space. Other computer fonts are variable-width (or proportional) and the software adjusts the spacing automatically. (This is why since the advent of computers, only one space follows a period, not two.)

PEACE.
