i am using the lucida handwriting font and i like it! however, the words seem to be pretty close together, i have already finished typing the 27 pages i need and was wondering if there is a way i can add more space between the words, like two or three spaces.... without obviously inserting them manually. i would appreciate any and all input with my teeny issue.... thank you!!!!

Unlike InDesign, Word has a character-spacing adjustment (Format font dialogue box, character-spacing tab) but no hword-spacing tool. The easiest for you is probably to use find and Replace to replace all your single spaces with number of spaces you would like. Press Ctrl+H to open the dialogue, type one space in the Find box and two, three or whatever in the Replace with box. You won't see any marks in the boxes, but the cursor will move. Alt+A will replace all, or just click on the Replace all button.

Enjoy
