Amy Choue Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I am having trouble with using word spacing in Publisher. I did not have the same trouble in the previous version, which I last used sometime around mid October. Can we go back to the previous version? I've searched "deactivate updates" and "uninstall updates" and couldn't get results. Those words sound negative but please do not take them that way. I remember instructors in tutorials mentioning users who use versions without updates and now am thinking maybe some users choose to stay at a particular version in the past for a reason. Anyhow please let me know if there are ways to go back to a previous version. This will be an immense help to me. Thanks. (I am on Windows 10).

MikeTO Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Yes, you can go back. But as I explained in the word spacing thread, there were no changes in word spacing so I don't think it will address your issue. And any documents you saved in 2.3 cannot be opened in a previous version.

Amy Choue Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 It seems I'll have to uninstall Publisher and then reinstall it, among its previous versions. I'll try this and report back if anything worthwhile happens. (Edit). Before uninstalling, I tried to do the extremes with the slide bar to see what happens, and could move and split the footnote. This is really odd, I could do this same thing with so much more ease (and fun) before updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Choue Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 It seems Minimum Word Spacing works like charm. I'll just have to get used to this. (Why do I remember doing this differently. I am so sure of this. This is so strange). When I first discovered by chance that I can manually change the word spacing, I remembered all those odd passages I've read where the spaces between words were sometimes too narrow, sometimes too wide; somebody was trying to resolve the issues I was trying to resolve. Since the tutorials I studied did not cover much about how to import a large amount of text from Word, and somewhat more advanced skills related to format books, I am still doing this in a haphazard way. So, many thanks for the comments and help! What will the beginnerd do without the Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anto Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I had the same problem on a Mac with Publisher 2.3 when it seemed like three words were written together. I had to put two spaces between the words, or replace one word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
