Word 365 creates double spaces when typing
- Mar 24, 2019Okay then :)
Try from another browser and/or keyboard and let me know
Hi! Thanks for the quick response.
I found that page already, it sadly didn't help --> I think the problem I have is completely different.
First of all, the problem persists with every document - regardless of when I created it (before the problem occured or after). Copying the old documents into a completely new one didn't change anything.
Secondly, the double spaces in my Word occur between all words, not just at the end of a sentence, and it doesn't disappear when I continue typing (like the person on that thread said). Changing the spell-correction options didn't help either.
The double spaces persist and occur between (almost) every word, which is weird. Some spaces (but very, very few) are singular.

If that doesn’t work try a online repair from the control panel!
Also try another keyboard even if this not occurs outside of word, just make sure!

The solution you provided is for an installed version of Word, if I'm not mistaken?
I only use the online version of Office (I have a free license because I am a student, which comes without the function to install Word on the PC).

Hello!
Using IE fixed the problem. Going back to Firefox the problem persists.
Do you know how I can fix it in Firefox? I still prefer that browser.
But thanks for the help so far. :)
