A funny request, but is there any way to automatize the change? Or
to transform manually selected text into character style? I
understand it's a funny request!
Here's a fun idea. In a spreadsheet, type in cell A2:
=LEFT(A1;1)
and in A3:
=A2&" "&MID(A$1;ROW()-1;1)
The space in this formula needs to be a non-breaking space: enter
this with Insert | Formatting Mark > | Non-breaking space. Drag the
fill handle to copy just A3 down the column.
For each word that you need letter spaced, copy it into cell A1 of
the spreadsheet. Copy the first cell that contains your complete
word back to your text document - using Paste Special... and Unformatted text.
Does that count as automation?
I trust this helps.
