Hi Fred, When you place the insertion point directly after a word and before a space and start typing regular characters, FM inserts the characters in green. As expected. When you then enter a space, FrameMaker overwrites the existing space (if you have "Smart Spaces" activated). That way the existing space gets crossed out in red. However, FM does not add the space which you just typed as the deleted space still counts for the "Smart Spaces" feature.
2 solutions: o Enter the insertion point not directly before a space but after the space. Then start typing. o Turn off "Smart Spaces".
