Sometimes a single space between words or whatever will be tiny, and sometimes it'll be really big.

Is this supposed to make for easy reading or some shit? I hate it.

I haven't actually used it yet but I did configure it so that the default font and all that was proper. I hope it doesn't do any crazy crap to me when I'm typing up a paper.

Here's a perfect example:

That is using Times New Roman 12pt font, and there's only a single space between each word.

I think your settings or just your version of Word 2007 sucks.

Well what the fuck is this then?

Goddamn.

Yeah, check your settings Ecro.

I haven't done anything to my kerning or spacing options. Here's how they look:

That would drive me up a fucking wall. Wow, it looks ridiculous. I have no idea what's wrong though, as I'm kind of a computer idiot.

It's not happening for me right now, though I have come across this before. It seems to happen with some fonts more than others for me.

That's kind of scary to me. Like I'm going to be lying awake tonight worried that this will randomly happen to me and I won't be able to fix it kind of scary.

It really fucking sucks when you're trying to type up a resume.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #13 on:** August 02, 2007, 12:33:30 PM »

It happens with individual letters, too, for me.

Might I suggest an old fashioned remedy?

Try using a different serif font, like cambria, garamond, or perpetua. Maybe the spacing problem will disappear with one of them. Times New Roman is so proletariat, anyway.

For me, it defaults to calibri, but that is a sans serif.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #18 on:** August 02, 2007, 01:20:09 PM »

TNR is what COMMIES USE

Ecrofirt · « **Reply #19 on:** August 03, 2007, 01:11:43 AM »

Calibri is ass.
