Is there a way to automatically add a hard space after Dr. or Mr. AS you are typing?
My law office often has to type long documents/summaries and several assistants do not like to have "Mr. Smith" separated between two lines, we like to keep them together. I have tried to figure out how to fix this AS we are typing, but I have been unsuccessful.
Is there a way to do this AS WE ARE TYPING instead of having to perform a search and replace once done? I do create an auto correct entry for names that are typed often, and add the hard space to those shortcuts, but i want it to also do it when typing any other title and name, Dr. Jones, Dr. White, Ms. Wilson, Mr. Smith, NP Johnson, etc. Please help! |

Sorry. No.
The feature that would do this is AutoCorrect. That uses the space as a trigger to start looking. If you use AutoCorrect to replace Dr. with Dr.[non-breaking space] you end up with Dr.[non-breaking space][space]. Typing a non-breaking space is not that difficult. Ctrl+Shift+Space |

Or you could just type ordinary spaces, then run a macro that looks for all the titles and replaces the trailing spaces with non-breaking ones.
