505 TopicsCan't remove spaces between rows
Hello, I need to correct a word document and I received it with multiple spaces between rows that I can't seem to correct no matter what I try. Here is an example: As we can see, there is a blank row between the two lines but I cannot move the pointer there, nor I can backspace and make the blank row disappear. This seems to be tied to some pre-formatted settings; could someone pinpoint where should I go in settings in order to somehow be able and gracefully align these two rows? Thank you very much, Desktop Mac OS Word: Version 16.86 Version 15.6 Sequoia This behavior is persistent in Windows. Thanks again,11Views0likes1CommentTable of contents bug - num list headings are on multiple lines in the TOC
I'm working on some documents with multiple headings and table of contents. As part of the formatting, most of the headings are numbered using the num list format, like so: However, a strange issue has been occurring where, when I set up the table of contents, some of these headings and subheadings spill over multiple lines in the table. I can't figure out why this might be—every heading has the same formatting as each other, and every subheading has the same formatting as each other, yet only some of the headings and subheadings experience this bug in the table of contents. Most are normal. See below for a simulated example of what I mean: As can be seen, the actual titles are on separate lines from the page numbers, and some of the numbers are on separate lines from their titles. The ideal format should be, say: "1.2 [Title] [leading dots] [page number]", all on the one line. I've had a look at the headings to see if there are any formatting or paragraph inconsistencies, but I can't find any. I'd like to get some help with figuring out what might be causing this issue. I apologise, I know this is a bit vague, but I really don't know how to explain it any other way. I'll appreciate any help you can offer, thank you.35Views0likes3CommentsUnicode characters conflation?
In the find and replace tool in Word (ctrl+H) I would like to replace the left single quotation mark [ ' = U+2018] with the upper left double quotation mark [ “ = U+201C] (to insert the Unicode values I use the hex value and Alt+X.). Yet, Word consistently replaces the latter with the lower left single quotation mark [ „ = U+201E]. Is this me doing something wrong, or is it a bug?25Views0likes2CommentsSpellcheck problem
Since a few days, my Word Online refuses to give suggestions for spellchecking. I already contacted support, but they cant help me. I will add a screenshot for clarity. Can anyone please help me out? I've tried all standard things already and it always used to work.Solved228Views1like18Comments
