Windows 7 double space between sentences

My sympathies. I have trained my in-house journos to not double space double carriage returns too. But the copy submitted from outside is very ordinary. Interestingly enough, this was never a thing in the UK, where I was educated and learned to type lo, these many years ago.

I only ran into it on this side of the pond. Is it possible to globally correct the spacing between a trio of glyphs for the entire font? Is there a way to modify a letter pair, or in this case, a set of 3 characters just once, so that this combination behaves the way it should every time? Bembo is another font this happens with, and I finally stopped using Bembo because this issue was even worse with that font. Maybe there is a GREP search for this? Can kerning be searched and replaced?

Grace, you can do a GREP search for. You could also build this into a GREP style and the effect would happen automatically, but it might slow InDesign down depending on how much text it has to constantly search for that pattern.

You could use the same idea for Bembo with a different tracking value. Grace, when I had the same exact problem with Gill Sans, changing the kern method from Metrics to Optical solved it gracefully.

But I found it easier and faster to just make Optical part of any paragraph style that used that font. Thank you for these articles. I appreciate them especially the historical ones. Now did I correctly space my sentences? I read, printed, and commented on this article in December. I may not be a professional typesetter, publisher, etc. This article refers to designers and others setting professional typography, not word processing and general typing as taught in school, so please do not take offense.

Illene: Thanks for making me feel better! I create government forms. Should I consider that word processing or typesetting? Thank you! Catches a bunch every time. I like double-spaced sentences and use them. So there. I personally miss double spacing, because it is easier to read. If we wanted to make a change after the passing of the typesetters, it should have been the adopting of the British standard for quotation marks.

The style choice will now be marked as an error in Microsoft Word -- and users who press the space bar twice after a period will be met with those dreaded blue squiggly lines. The change, first noticed by University of Denver law professor Alan Chen and reported by tech outlet The Verge , is rolling out gradually across Word, so users may not notice it until their software updates.

Microsoft is giving workers 12 weeks of paid parental leave because of school disruptions. The habit of using two spaces is a relic from the era of typewriters, when typists spaced twice to more clearly define the end of a sentence. Was this information helpful? Yes No. Thank you!
