No one but no one does it the way you do it, Erin. Thank you for showing how to do this.

[@erinwrightwriting]

You are too kind! I really appreciate your support!

i cannot thank you enough for your videos. i had a printing deadline for a legal breif and my mac word suddenly started putting 1 or 3 or 4 'white spaces ' bewteen words which BLEW the page numbrs to be far over limit. your tutorials saved us from expensive re-prints. Thanks 1,000,000. (PS MsWord 's own online help is atrocious-- told me Font Advanced Compress would work. it didn't. ..)

[@erinwrightwriting]

Your success story made my day! Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you so much. Literally every other video said to click some drop-down menu that I didn’t have on Mac and it was taking so long to complete this assignment

[@erinwrightwriting]

I am so glad you found the information you needed. I wish you all the best with your assignment!

Thanks a lot! You just solved my problem. I was placing text I had converted from handwritten to typed text on my tablet before into my thesis and it looked weird. Didn't realize the letter spacing had automatically been set up to "expanded"😃 Now it finally looks normal👍🏻

Do you know how to do it on the word app on the ipad?

[@erinwrightwriting]

Great question! Unfortunately, I don't believe any of the mobile versions of Word offer a way to adjust spacing beyond line spacing.

[@SaifBagsVideos]

@@erinwrightwriting ah okay! Thank you anyways for replying so quick! :)

[@Sizzlepickle]

Can you do it on the first word?

[@erinwrightwriting]

Yes, you can do it on the first word in a document. Thank you for watching!

[@theultimatephilosophy9578]

Helpful video thanks. But the audio is annoying.

[@SongBirdheaven]

what if the text is justified?

[@erinwrightwriting]

Great question! You can use this same process to adjust the letter spacing in justified text. However, the changes may not appear in the Preview box in the Font dialog box as they do for regular left-aligned text. The spacing should still change in the document, though. I wish you all the best with your Word project!

[@inannibras391]

Not working still very much spaced out

[@erinwrightwriting]

I am sorry to hear about that. You may want to ensure your text isn't in the Justified alignment, which will cause a lot of extra space.

Help nothing happened

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! I am sorry to hear you are having issues with your spacing. Unfortunately I can't be sure what is causing the problem. Could the document be saved as Read Only, perhaps?

[@simonlehre5670]

Thanks. You didn’t solve the problem. Clickbait!

[@cardinalnest6272]

That does not work!
