Shannon, all I can tell you is that it was acting up last night. Might just be one of those new and transitory idiosyncrasies to remember. I was in Facebook last night getting ready to comment on a friend's status when I noticed that I couldn't read what I had written in the Facebook comment edit box. I cut and pasted the text from Facebook into a blank Word twenty oh three edit screen so I could make changes. That is when WE began reading the three sentences I'd written as if I were pressing the read paragraph hot key. <shrug>. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I myself cannot duplicate the problem today.
Thanks for trying... _____ From: shannon [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2012 7:14 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: WE beta running sentences together in Word 2003. Lou, I didn't find this to be the case in word 2010. I started a new doc like you said and typed in a few short sentences with single spaceing and the sentence command worked like you said. I then went back and added a few more sentences with the two spaces between sentences and it still worked. Is it a WE beta thing or a word thing? I am running WE beta, xp sp3, word 2010 and OE is open Shannon ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 11:39 PM Subject: WE beta running sentences together in Word 2003. The MLA handbook only allows one space between sentences, but the beta is reading the sentences as if they are one, unless I put two spaces after the end of sentence punctuation. Try it yourself. Open Word 2003, start a new document, and type a few sentences. Be sure to follow the MLA style, putting only one space after the end of sentence punctuation. Put the cursor at the beginning of the first sentence. Now use the Word sentence right shortcut, Control-Shift-Pg Dn to move to the next sentence. Now, if you are inclined, go back and revise, adding a second space after the end of sentence punctuation. Go back to the top of the page and use the sentence right shortcut again. It's broke. Lou N.
