We have installed the mini-corrector extension which does a good job
of removing extra spaces from the body of text, but it also removes
paragraph indentation - which is completely unacceptable. :( We've
solved one problem and created another..
I find that *if* I indent a paragraph by using the TAB key, the
indentation remains, but of course a TAB is not a space. I find
also, that although the specs that my wife is try to meet require *5
spaces*, I can't find a way for the TAB action to 'mimic' the 5
spaces and I doubt that there are.. Any ideas here?
The goal is to remove redundant spaces from within the text, but
not from paragraph indentation.
thanks
I see two choices. The first is to make the tabs = 1 space for the
start of the line. The second, preferred, is to use the Indent and
Spacing feature of the paragraph style to do a hard indent. Neither is
what you asking for but looks like the only options.
