Hina:
Sounds like you want to address two problems: extra lines and extra spaces.
For extra lines, be sure JAWS verbosity setting is turned on to say blank
lines. That will solve half the problem. The other is a setting which JAWS
format reporter doesn't give, but I wish it did. In Word 2003, go into Format
(Alt plus O) and go to paragraph. Tab over. Listen for two words: after and
before. Each will have a setting. If you do not want Word automatically to
add the equivalent of a blank line, be sure that the settings (they are combo
boxes) are set to "0.00"
So, by checking that setting and by having the "say blanks" on, you should be
able to determine whether there are blank lines.
The way I've solved the problem of extra spaces is sequentially to search for
multiple spaces and replace with one space. So, go through searching for 4
spaces and automatically replacing (replace all) with one space. Repeat with a
replacement of 3 spaces with t2wo. Finally, replace two spaces with one.
Repeat the two spaces for one replace operation until Word tells you it can
find no more instances of two spaces.
Now, the only problem is that you will have one space following a period at the
end of a sentence instead of two. For some people, that's fine. If you want
two spaces, globally search for the period followed by a space and
automatically replace it with a period and two spaces.
Of course, that may create a problem where you use terms like Dr. and Mr. I
don't have a solution for that one.

hi,
i am writing a lots of reports and i did figure out formatting issues, but i am
not sure how will i know if there are extra spaces between words, sentenses and
paragraphs without reading word by word which is so time consuming? for sighted
people, microsoft word highlights but is there any way to know with jaws?
microsoft's spell checke option says that there is extra space and suppose to
change it to make corrections, but they still remain and is there a way to deal
with this issue with jaws?
i would be very thankful for your help.
hina.
