Microsoft Word - Too Many Spaces Between Senteces

Microsoft Word - Too Many Spaces Between Senteces

Too Many Spaces Between Senteces

Posted: 05 Dec 2012 05:49 AM PST

My documents frequently have too many spaces (2,3,4,5) between sentences, as a result of all my editing. It's cumbersome to remove all these spaces. Is there a way to quickly or automatically remove all these excess spaces, without changing the space between paragraphs? I don't want to merge paragraphs. Whithin a paragraph, I do want my sentences separated by a single space. I'm not sure how to do this with the standard Word commands. Could a macro perform this function? What macro do you suggest? Thank you. 

Tool to tally number of captions in a Word document

Posted: 05 Dec 2012 05:20 AM PST

Is there a plug-in or offline (batch) tool that provides a count of the number of captions (for figures and tables) in a Word document (or for all word documents in a folder)? 
The reason for asking this question is that we will shortly have to make all documents comply with accessibility standards which will require alt text to be prepared and inserted for all plots and tables, and I would like an automated way of calculating amount of work (have many hundreds of documents that are potentially affected).  The next step would be to create the alttext 'offline' and then insert automatically.

Quotation Marks do not appear correctly when typed in front of a word beginning with a vowel.

Posted: 04 Dec 2012 05:16 PM PST

My father-in-law has a new computer with the Microsoft Home Office version (a.k.a. Student version); he has problems with quotations in Word:  when he tries to type a vowel or a word beginning with a vowel in quotes, ie "a", he gets a with two dots above it.  This only happens on words which begin with a vowel.  His language is set as English and all other keys/letters and symbols work fine.  Also, when he hits the quotation key, the quote marks to not appear until he types a word or hits the space bar.  How can he fix his quotation marks so they type correctly for words begining with a vowel?

bookmarks as an external reference document

Posted: 04 Dec 2012 02:04 PM PST

i placed all my bookmarks on page 1, and numerous reference fields throughout the document pull info from these entries. when i distribute the document i want to delete the bookmark page, but then all my reference fields change to Error! (etc). Can i make the bookmark page an external reference source and still keep the data intact in my document? I have a macro to update all fields and it works fine within the document. when i print-preview it also updates the fields and that works fine as well. it isn't until i delete the bookmark page that the reference fields go into error.  also, when i distribute the document, i convert it to pdf because i have a lot of formatting in it and i worked hard to develop this document, i'm not willing to share the formatting, only the content. when i convert to pdf, all reference fields go to error, even if i don't update them after deleting the bookmark page.
i've been using this document template just fine for years in other versions of word - it's only the word 2010 that has this problem with the changes in developers tools. i am sure it can be done - i just don't know how.
does anyone know how this can be approached?
