There are several possible contributors to this problem: 1. What version of Microsoft Word is being used? 2. Have you turned off macro security 3. Is this happening only in documents with tables? 4. Is this happening only where templates are being used? 5. Are there any word plug-ins (third-party applications that install to MS Word)? 6. Does this seem to occur after any specific length of time has gone by (i.e., it does not happen early in the session, but after an hour or more use it does)? 7. Have you recently done a disk cleanup and disk defragment? -ed. -----Original Message----- From: j-say-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:j-say-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hemachandran Karah Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 1:16 AM To: j-say@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [j-say list] Re: no spaces between words Dear Brian, I dictate the sentence, I go to the school. When I insert a word like good before school by placing my braille display PC cursor on the letter S of the school, normally, good is placed in the sentence with a blank space in between the words good and school. Now, this fails to happen. Please let me know what to do further. Regards, Hema. Hemachandran Karah Doctoral Student Faculty of English University of Cambridge United Kingdom
