Shameless plug for my new blog, where I continue to write posts about life, design, usability, the tech industry, language, cooking and other little geeky things. If this was helpful, let me know in a comment! P.S. Go back to View and switch back to Print Layout.Repeat for the other one – I think it was Continuous Footnote Separator.It’s handy to have “show non-printing characters” switched on. Delete any extra spaces, carriage returns etc.In the drop-down list that appears in the Footnotes area, choose Footnote Separator.(On Macs, go to View > Footnotes – thanks to commenter Gerard for spotting this) Go to the References tab and click Show Footnotes.Turns out this is caused by something called a footnote separator which you have to go to Draft mode (under the View tab in MS Word 07 and up) to edit it.
It was wreaking havoc on my formatting and turning all my tables into multiple-paged impossible-to-read clusters of cells. Today while editing my 40-page behemothof a PW report (before adding all figures, tables and double-spacing and enlarging the fonts) I was unlucky enough to encounter this issue:Īfter the footnote divider line, but before the footnotes themselves, there would be a huge expanse of blank space. (You can use lines you establish in your header/footer for an overall box effect.It’s frustrating having programs screw up on you when there’s a pressing deadline to meet.
#Random spacing between words in word manual
I aligned the left edge and used manual line breaks on the right since I wasn't showing the table lines. I discovered I could align either the L or R edge of the table but not both reliably. Sometimes I could resize the table to be within bounds, and then it would bounce back out. Broke it into a second table to see if that would help. On the second page, the table rows went out of bounds, as if I'd set different R and L page margins.

Our process is creating documents in FM9 and saving as PDF to post to our websites. We never had this trouble before with earlier versions of the software. I solved the last remaining problems by setting a specific (exactly, not at least) row height for each row and set each to allow breaking across pages. We recently upgraded to FM9 and Pro9 and started experiencing spaces in words as well as letters on top of each other throughout documents. I copied the misbehaving likes to Notepad to strip hidden formatting, put them back, and they jumped to the bottom of their respective pages.ĢND FOLLOW UP: Word 2013 is either buggy or there is a demon in the online template I chose. On that tab, check the box to Keep lines together.
In the Paragraph settings window, click the Line and Page Breaks tab. In the Word toolbar, click the arrow to open the Paragraph settings window. They are consecutive pages so it isn't a folio verso thing. Click inside the line that contains the wrongly-spaced text. Table is formatted to put all text at the top. On that tab, check the box to Keep lines. )įOLLOW UP: Actually, the above described technique helped, but I still get two pages with two lines at the bottom. Click inside the line that contains the wrongly-spaced text. Thanks to Rick for mentioning that nasty "Keep with next" setting. I found it difficult to do it while still in the table, because I could pull up the Paragraph settings only randomly, not consistently. Then I could select the entire thing and turn off widow and orphan control. The default in the resume template I used was "keep with next." I copied the column to a new document and converted it from table to text.
