It often happens that after formatting the text, your gaps moved and stand several times in a row. Such a document will no longer be able to go to work or study, as it is inconvenient to read, and it has a completely incorrect appearance. Fix it is possible in two ways, depending on how many spaces need to be removed or replaced. Try both options and select the best.
How to remove one multiple gap in the Word
The Microsoft Office Word program has its own hotkeys that use much more convenient than to constantly click on the mouse and take a lot of time. In this example, you will try to enjoy them. Open your file in the Word Program.
- Immediately put the cursor to the place in which there is an unwanted multiple space.
- Now highlight the entire space, putting the cursor to its beginning, clinging the left mouse button, and then stretching it to the end.
- Hold the combination "Ctrl + SHIFT + space" on your keyboard at the same time.
- Now see what you have happened.
The multiple space is removed, and in its place the usual symbol of the space. This method is very fast and ideal for isolated cases in your document. If you have noticed several such spaces in the Word file, and it will be time to delete them too time, then use the second method.
How to remove all multiple gaps in the Word Document
After formatting text or copy it on third-party resources, you may encounter multiple spaces on each line. In this case, the first way of the article will not suit you. Try the following option:
- Open your Word file.
- Determine for yourself, a lot of flaws are made in it with spaces. If you manually correct them, find them in the "Home" tab "Replace" in the upper right corner.
- Click on it. You will find the "Find and Replace" window.
- The essence of the window is as follows: in the top line "Find" you need to enter your multiple spaces if there are three, then enter three, if two, respectively, two. In the bottom line "Replace" you need to write what we replace the upper characters. In our case, this is one space, and put it in this field.
- Click on the "Replace All" button.
- Within a few seconds, the program will replace and search for the desired characters. Wait, and then pay attention to the screen. It will be a great notice of how many inserts were replaced. In the screenshot below you can see that they are produced twenty-five pieces.
- Now press the "OK" key and see what happened to your text.
All gaps were leveled and there were one by one. If you remember the combination of hot keys "Ctrl + H", then you will not have to look for the "Replace" field in the program header. With this combination, you simply call the Replace and Paste window immediately and continue to work starting from the replacement item.
Each time you write a document in Microsoft Office Word, consider immediately what text formatting will be performed. If you immediately put the desired formatting, then free yourself from further continuous correction of the errors made when the text is restructured from one page markup to another. Also, it may affect the further change in the width of the edge of the page and its paragraphs.
