    - How to disable automatic spaces Hello, I've got a problem with Word XP as it is placing and removing spaces without asking. I've got 2 samples to illustrate my problem. Sample 1 (Copy & Paste): I've copied the text 'test' to the clipboard. When I paste the text into the sentence 'This is a sentence' between 'a' and 'sentence' I get 'This is a test sentence'. Notice the space after the word 'test'. This is added by Word without asking me. As I copy and paste a lot of stuff where it's meant to become one word this is very annoying. Sample 2 (Delete): I've got a text like 'Test ' followed by a paragraph ending. When I select 'Test' (and not the space behind it) and press 'Delete' then Word deletes the space as well. This is also very annoying. Can anyone tell me how to disable this 'intelligent'-behaviour? Many thanks in advance.

    - En-dash and Em-dash without numeric keypad? On my desktop, which has a full keyboard, I can get an en-dash or em-dash using the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Num- and Alt+Ctrl+Num-. The keyboard on my laptop does not have a numeric keypad. Is there a keyboard shortcut I can use to get these characters? I tried NumLock without success. I would prefer not to define a new shortcut. I guess I am really asking if there is a way to simulate the minus sign on the numeric keypad without a numeric keypad.

    - Word XP Unit of Measurement Won't Change Hello, I have a problem and am urgently looking for a solution. I installed Word XP, and the ruler showed measurements in millimeters rather than inches. I tried repeatedly to go to Tools, Options, General to set the default to inches. That should have been simple enough. "Inches" appeared as the default setting, but the ruler did not change to reflect the change. It still appeared in millimeters. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling, with the same result. I also tried running Install and specifying Repair, and the only change was that the ruler's unit of measurement changed to "character." Also, when going to Format, Paragraph to adjust spacing before or after paragraphs and/or to set indents via this dialog box, the measurement that shows is "ch" (character). Typing in measurements here in inches and specifying inches as the desired unit of measurement doesn't work. FWIW, in trying to troubleshoot the problem, the same CD that was used in the installation was also used to install XP on another machine. It installed properly. The other machine had identical specs to the "problem" machine. Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, solutions as to what I can try to set things right? Help!

Windows XP Pro does not have a wordprocessor beyond the simple Wordpad. You
are required to activate Windows (which will have been done by now or it
would have stopped working). You are not obligated to register Windows.
