After downloading the next document "Vord" from the Internet or when writing text yourself, you may find that the spaces between the words are quite wide. Sometimes this distance is so big that it just cuts the eye. This problem is not uncommon, and there are many ways to solve it.

In this article we give four simplest versions. We'll talk about how to remove the space between the words in the "Word" by aligning to the left, using an indissoluble space and eliminating unprintable characters such as "End of line" and tabs. Read the article to the end to determine the method that is right for you. We will look at how to remove the gap between the words in the 2010 Word, but it is likely that all methods can be suitable for other versions of the program.

We use the non-breaking space

Now let's talk about how to remove the gap between words in the "Word", by using an indissoluble blank. However, before this, we will pay a little attention to the simplest method - alignment to the left.

The fact is that huge gaps can appear due to incorrectly configured text formatting settings, and sometimes ordinary alignment on the left side can help. To do this, you can use the same button on the taskbar or the CTRL + L combination. But, of course, this method is not suitable in cases where it is necessary to keep the alignment in width.

Now let's talk about how to remove the gap between the words in the "Word" when aligning to the width. Use for this we will be an indissoluble gap. It's very simple, when you press CTRL + SHIFT + SPACEBAR.

Knowing the right combination, you just need to replace all the wide spaces with non-breaking ones, then the problem disappears.

Remove the "End of line"

Now it's time to touch on unprintable characters. Namely such as "End of line". It is set when you press ENTER in combination with SHIFT. In this case, you will not make a paragraph, but start writing the text with a new line. If there is an alignment in width, then the previous line just stretches across the entire width of the sheet, thereby creating unnecessary spaces.

To visualize non-printable characters, you need to use the corresponding button on the toolbar. Her whereabouts can be seen in the picture in the article.

Click this button and you will see the "End of line". It looks like an arrow bent to the left. It is similar to the one drawn on the ENTER key. To fix a problem with wide spaces, you need to erase all these characters.

Remove tabs

Among the unprintable characters there is one more - tabulation. This character is set when you press the TAB key. Fortunately, this problem is also eliminated simply as the previous one. Even more, the ways to eliminate it are almost the same.

Now consider a method how to remove the gap between paragraphs in the "Word", if their creation served as tabulation. First, visualize all the unprintable characters. How to do this, you already know, and if you forgot, then read about how to remove the "End of line". The tab character looks like an arrow pointing to the right. The method of its elimination is similar to the previous method. You should just delete all unnecessary arrows.

Quick tabbing

So we figured out how to remove the gap between the paragraphs in the "Word". But I want to touch on another topic - what if there are a lot of tabs in the text? Do not delete each manually - it will take a lot of time.

In fact, the output is very simple - you can use the replacement in the "Word".

To do this, first open the corresponding window by pressing CTRL + H. Before you will be two fields: "Find" and "Replace". As it is easy to guess, in the field "Find" you need to enter a tab character. You can do this by copying. Well, put the usual space in the second field. Then click "Replace All", and all large spaces from the text will be lost.
