Hello all. A bit of a weird one.


I have a document which was cutting up words on lines with no hyphenation. I couldn't figure out why until now.

The document looks normal but each space isn't really a space.

You can highlight the gap between word but it isn't really a space so even though it looks like all the words are seperated, everything is one continuous word.

I can't do a Find & Replace because even though I can select the "space" it doesn't register.

Can anyone help or shed any light on this.


Thanks

Hi simjambra,

Non-breaking spaces, perhaps? Try Find/Replace with:
Find = ^s
Replace = 'space'

Hello Macropod.

I wasn't sure what a non-breaking space was but I did find it on the Special F&R options but sadly that didn't make any difference at all.

I Did Find = ^s and tried to find next - but it didn't pick up the characters

Hi simjambra,

Can you post a stripped down copy of the document, with say, one or two paragraphs that show what the issue is?
