MS Word Automatic full stop on double space tap

luckymoneysaver

Hi

Is it possible to have MS Word automatically insert a full stop after tapping the spacebar twice.

Im so used to it on my iphone 4 and its becoming a habit.

Is there some kind of auto run/something i can use?

thanks in advance

I figured autocorrect could do it...here's instructions

1. Click on the Tools menu
2. Click on the AutoCorrect option
3. Make sure “replace text as you type” toggle is on
4. Pick your code, type it in the “replace” box
5. Type the full word into the “with” box (the word must be exactly as you want it to appear, including capitalization)
6. Press the “Add” button, then either add another word, or click “okay” at the bottom of the window

sorry.., you're right.
Been looking for another solution, even trying [FONT=arial,helvetica]^u8195 and [ ] with no joy... maybe it could be done with a macro - but that's beyond me [/FONT]

Disable that function in iPhone then you won't miss it in Word. Simples!

Can you put space space A in the 'replace' and stop space A in the 'replace with' box?

Repeat with B, C, D, etc. After a full stop (or your two spaces) you should be using cap letters, so no need to do for a, b, c.

I know it's 26 entries but you only have to do it once.
