You can change the spacing between characters of text for selected text or for particular characters. In addition, you can stretch or compress an entire paragraph to make it fit and look the way that you want it to.

Change the spacing between characters

Selecting Expanded or Condensed alters the spacing between all selected letters by the same amount. Kerning alters the spacing between particular pairs of letters — in some cases reducing and in other cases expanding the space depending upon the letters.

Expand or condense the space evenly between all the selected characters

  1. Select the text that you want to change.

  2. On the Home tab, click the Font Dialog Box Launcher, and then click the Advanced tab.

    Font Dialog Box Launcher

    Note: If you’re using Word 2007 the tab is called Character Spacing.

  3. In the Spacing box, click Expanded or Condensed, and then specify how much space you want in the By box.

    Use the font dialog to specify whether your character spacing should be expanded or compressed

Kern the characters that are above a particular size

Kerning refers to the way spacing between two specific characters is adjusted. The idea is to give a better looking result by reducing the spacing between characters that fit together nicely (such as «A» and «V») and increasing the spacing between characters that don’t.

  1. Select the text that you want to change.

  2. On the Home tab, click the Font Dialog Box Launcher, and then click the Advanced tab.

    Font Dialog Box Launcher

    Note: If you’re using Word 2007 the tab is called Character Spacing.

  3. Select the Kerning for fonts check box, and then enter the point size in the Points and above box.

    Allow Word to set kerning between characters that are of a certain font size or larger

Stretch or scale the text horizontally

When you scale the text, you change the shapes of the characters by percentages. You can scale text by stretching it or by compressing it.

  1. Select the text that you want to stretch or compress.

  2. On the Home tab, click the Font Dialog Box Launcher, and then click the Advanced tab.

    Font Dialog Box Launcher

    Note: If you’re using Word 2007 the tab is called Character Spacing.

  3. In the Scale box, enter the percentage that you want.

    Percentages above 100 percent stretch the text. Percentages below 100 percent compress the text.

Change the line spacing

To increase or decrease the amount of vertical space between lines of text within a paragraph, the best method is to modify the style the paragraph uses.

  1. Find the style you’re using in the Styles gallery on the Home tab.

  2. Right-click the style you want to change and select Modify.

    Right-click the Caption style in the Styles gallery to modify the formatting of your captions.

  3. Near the center of the dialog box you’ll find the line spacing buttons that let you select single, 1.5x or double spaced. Choose the spacing you want to apply and click OK.

    Modify the line spacing options in your style to adjust vertical spacing in Word.

If you’d like to apply more specific line spacing to the style, clickthe Format button at the bottom left corner of the Modify Style dialog box and select Paragraph. The Line spacing drop-down lets you select or set more specific line spacing.

Use the Paragraph dialog box to set more specific spacing between lines of text

When I am trying to Justify text paragraph in MS Word, random space is generating between words. How can I set equal gap between words and how can I change the setting of Justify

You are probably justifying the text in Center mode, which means that the text must reach both ends of the page, left and right.

If the text-line is not exactly of the width of the printed page, the only way for Word to make both ends meet is by adding space in-between the words. Word in effect distributes the missing width pixels among the white-space in the line.

Word has a nice algorithm for this, and it’s not at all random.

Justify is meant to spread the text out over the width of the current container and shouldn’t be used if you want equal widths between your words. To change the width of the space between the words you should change the font settings of the text: You can do this by selecting the text, do a right click and click Font, then go to the advanced tab where you can change the character spacing settings.

Character Spacing in the Font dialog adjusts spacing between letters of the selected text. It barely adjusts the spacing between words. Word does not have a nice algorithm for spacing in my opinion. It is a lame attempt to emulate a publishing layout tool, which it is not. If you want to justify text and control the spacing to the 1/1000th of a em, use a professional layout application like Adobe InDesign. I never justify paragraph text in Word. It creates unsightly rivers (uneven white space between words that flows down the page).

To increase the spacing between words, say in a title that is ALL CAPS, use two spaces. And if that creates too large a gap, reduce the font size of the spaces only. If you’re thinking you could just increase the font size of a single space, then you’ll discover this also affects the vertical line spacing (unless you’ve specified an exact line height).

Found no way to get rid of that ugly spaces. All I could do is to select the gapped text with some more lines below it, then cut and paste using the option text only. that worked for me.

When writing in Microsoft Word, we place spaces (using the space-bar on the keyboard) between words to make the sentence more readable. When we type a sentence, Word treats a space as a character and uses the space between words to decide where to fold the sentence and continue it on the next line when the sentence gets longer than the line length specified by the page size.

For instance consider the two sentences within a finite boundary defining the line length:

As the length of the first sentence is shorter than the line length, Word is not folding the sentence. However, the second sentence is longer, and Word is folding it using the space between the words Very and Lightly.

For some reason, such as for clarity, we may want Word to retain the two words Very and Lightly on the same line rather than separating them as above. The sentence would then look like:

This requires replacing the regular space present between the words Very and Lightly with a non-breaking space. Such non-breaking spaces are also known as nonbreaking spaces or no-break spaces. Word recognizes non-breaking spaces and treats any two words cojoined by a non-breaking space as a single entity.

We will explain how to let Word insert a non-breaking space in a sentence where it is necessary. You can do this in two ways:

  • Using Keyboard Short-Cuts to Introduce Non-Breaking Space
  • Using Menus to Introduce Non-Breaking Space

Let’s start.


Method #1: Using Keyboard Short-Cuts to Introduce Non-Breaking Space

Step #1: Open a Word Document

Open a Word document containing the sentence where you want to introduce non-breaking space. For instance, we would like to keep the words micro and controllers together, but Word has split them onto two lines.

Step #2: Show Hidden Characters

Click on the Home tab on the menu bar on top. Next, click on the Show/Hide icon. This will reveal space and other characters between words that normally Word hides from view.

Note: Step #2 is only for instructional purposes. Once you have mastered the technique, you may skip this step.

Step #3: Insert Non-Breaking Space

Select the space between the words micro and controller (represented by the dot). On your keyboard, press the keys Ctrl, Shift, and Space together. Note that the selected dot has now changed into a small circle—meaning Word has replaced the regular space with a non-breaking space. Also note that the two words are no longer on two lines, but appear together on the same line.

Step #4: Hide Hidden Characters

You may repeat Step #3 at as many places in the sentence as necessary. Once you are satisfied, click on Show/Hide icon to revert to the regular view.

To remove the non-breaking space and revert to the regular space, select the non-breaking space and hit the space-bar once on your keyboard.


Method #2: Using Menus to Introduce Non-Breaking Space

Step #1: Open a Word Document

Open a Word document containing the sentence where you want to introduce non-breaking space. For instance, we would like to keep the words micro and controllers together, but Word has split them onto two lines.

Step #2: Show Hidden Characters

Click on the Home tab on the menu bar on top. Next, click on the Show/Hide icon. This will reveal space and other characters between words that normally Word hides from view.

Note: Step #2 is only for instructional purposes. Once you have mastered the technique, you may skip this step.

Step #3: Open Symbols Dialog

Select the space between the words micro and controller (represented by the dot). Click on the Insert tab in the top menu bar to change the ribbon. Then click on Symbol, and in the dialog that opens, click on More Symbols to open the Symbols Selection Dialog.

Step #4: Insert Non-Breaking Space

In the Symbols Selection Dialog, click on the Special Characters tab [1]. Scroll down to Non-breaking Space [2]. Click on Insert [3]. Word will insert the non-breaking space (represented by a small circle) in place of the regular space and place the two words micro and controller on the same line. Close the dialog by clicking on Cancel [4].

Step #5:  Hide Hidden Characters

You may repeat Step #4 at as many places in the sentence as necessary. Once you are satisfied, click on Show/Hide icon to revert to the regular view.


Conclusion

Word uses several types of spaces to format sentences. We have discussed two methods of using the non-breaking space to replace a regular space to make the sentence more readable. Use the method you find most suitable.

Text editors are applications that we can use daily, but this does not mean that we can take advantage of the different functions that it has. In the case of Microsoft Word, the Windows Office editor, its versatility and simplicity make it one of the most used tools in the world. And this is why we want to teach you how to insert spaces between text or two words in Word easily.

How to insert spaces between text or two words in Word easily

In Word there are certain options or functions that most users do not know yet, but they are important for a perfect spacing of the words in the text or tables. This is the case of the function Search for and replace that as we told you before. Which also allows you to add additional spaces if required by the document and thus save a lot of time.

Before explaining how to use the aforementioned function, we can tell you how to insert spaces between text or two words in Word manually.

Then you go to the right and go to the Edit group and press the arrow to display the options it contains. The next step you must do is click on the Replace option and this action will generate a window, called Search for and replace.

Now in the field described as Search you must write the words that need a space between them. You must be careful to write the words exactly as they appear in the document. For example, if you want the word Laperla to appear as La perla then write this word in this field The Pearl.

The next step is to write in the Replace field how you want the two words to appear but now with the space between them. Returning to the previous example, now we must write the word La perla, as you see now, we write it with the space between them. This is how this function works you put the words that do not have space and you replace it with the space between them.

insert text space

The next step is to go to the bottom of the window Search for and replace and you must click on the option Replace everything. Once the operation is done and completed, it will show you a pop-up window and you will click on the OK option. To finish you must click on the Close option found at the bottom of the Search and Replace window.

And so in this way we finish this instructive tutorial, which showed you a little-known function in the Word text editor, as well as the function that will allow you to insert page breaks. And in simple steps we show you what you should do to insert spaces between text or two words in Word easily.

Without spaces between the words, reading would be very difficult, with the words merging into a single long string of unintelligible letters. Inserting spaces between two words in MS Word allows your readers to understand the text easily. Even if you simply want to change the visual presentation of words by placing them further away, the space bar can help you reach your goal. If your document contains a word or phrase that occurs multiple times and needs additional space, you can also use Word’s Find and Replace feature to save time.

Type spaces manually

Step 1

Click between the two words. The cursor will appear as a flashing line between them.

Step 2

Press the space bar on your keyboard.

Step 3

Press the space bar on your keyboard again, if you want to leave two spaces between the two words.

Use the Find and replace function to insert spaces

Step 1

Click the Home tab

Step 2

Click Replace in the Editing group. The Find and Replace window will appear.

Step 3

Type the two words that need a space between them in the top field, marked «Find what». Write these words exactly as they appear in the document. For example, if you want to change all instances of the word «allright» to «all right», then type «allright» in this field.

Step 4

Type the two words again in the «Replace with» field, but this time include a space between the two words. If you want to change «allright» to «all right», type «all right» in this field.

Step 5

Click «Replace all» at the bottom of the Find and Replace box.

Step 6

Click «OK» in the pop-up window that explains that Word completed the task.

Step 7
