Why are there unexpected spaces in my document?

< 1 min read

  1. Check the absolute and relative spacing between words and paragraphs.

  2. If necessary, adjust the absolute and relative settings for paragraphs and line spacing.

  3. Check for double or even triple spaces between words and other punctuation.

  4. Go to the document’s find and replace tool and type in two or more of the same space to find and replace with one.

  5. Check for formatting caused by tab or return insertion.

  6. Check to see if the formatting tool automatically inserting extra tabs or returns and is creating spacing between words and paragraphs.

  7. Check for any hidden objects.

  8. Check to make sure no hidden objects are causing off-putting spacings, like tables, columns, images, etc.
