Macros are created to solve a problem.…The problem that I have here is that I have a lot of documents that were…created a few years ago.…At that time, when people typed in text and got to the end of a line, they would…press the Enter key twice.…When they got to the end of a sentence, they would press the Spacebar twice.…They did those things because the software wasn't smart enough to automatically…increase the space at the end of a paragraph, or to replace an end space with an…em space at the end of a sentence.…

Q: The Panning Hand feature for scrolling through documents shown in the movie "Using the Word interface" does not appear in my version of Word.
A: This appears to be an issue with Word, in that the Panning Hand icon does not appear in every installation of Word. The Panning Hand feature was originally designed for a tablet PC and it will always appear on a tablet. However, onother laptops and desktops, the Panning Hand icon's appearance is dependent on the version of Windows and how much tablet PC functionality is built into that version.
Q: Why am I seeing the following error message when trying to open the exercise files in Word 2010? Word experienced an error trying to open the file. Try these suggestions: * check permissions * open the file with text recovery
A: This is a permissions/trust issue specific to your install of Microsoft Office. Contact your IT department make sure documents downloaded from email and the web are not blocked. A workaround solution is to try opening the files in an older version of Word or try to edit your Trust Center settings.
