Spaces between words in Office 2010 not consistent
Hello all,
I recently switched from Office 2003 to Office 2010. Since the switch I notice that the spaces between words are not consistent in length. I selected the spaces individually and even in the selection you see differences in the size of the spaces. This example is from a PPT using Ariel, 18 font size. Things I've tried so far: I've tried disabling kerning, but that makes the font look really bad. I also tried adjusting the character spacing and while this does solve the issue on an individual basis, I don't have the time to go over every space in a presentation to fix this issue. I tried the same document on 2 different pc's. One of Windows 7, the other on Windows 8.1. Both have this issue with Office 2010. 2 Different computers using Office 2013 do not have this spacing issue. Does anyone know if this is a known issue with Office 2010? Is there a fix? Thanks in advance, |

In Word, spaces are a consistent width for text that is not justified. That width is determined by the font file and whatever point size, etc, you've specified (it is possible, but unusual, to have different-point-sized spaces). When justification is used, however, the spaces expand/contract so the words fill each line. Do note too that the on-screen presentation can vary, depending on whether you've checked the 'Optimize character positioning for layout rather than readability' option and that Word will try to represent the positioning to match the printer capabilities reported by the attached printer driver.
