How do I stop Word 2003 inserting spaces when I paste text directly next to
other text?

I've switched off all the Autocorrect As You Type and Replace Text As You
Type options, and can't find anywhere else to *stop the machine*!

Have a look at Tools > Options > Edit > Smart cut and paste - I think you
need to turn this off, or turn off the 'Adjust sentence and word spacing'
setting.

In Word 2003, go to [Tools] [Options] select the [Edit] tab. Under the cut & paste options, click on the [settings] button. Deselect 'Adjust sentence and word spacing automatically'. I don't know how this works in newer versions of Word, I'm sure there must be something similar. Hope this helps.
