Format changes after a sentence was pasted

[Struggling Kiwi]

I have copied a sentence from a PDF document and pasted it into a word 2007
document. The text has a space between each letter and three spaces between
each word. Can I alter this to no spaces between letters then manually space
each word??? I also read that the text type has altered in other questions
which also happened. I purchased a Visagesoft PDF Editor from the UK.

Any assistance very much appreciated from confused in New Zealand.

Try this…

Instead of making the words without space and giving space manually, you can
do it in a single way. Just press CNTRL+H and in Find What Box give three
spaces and in Replace With Box give one space, then press Replace All button.
This will replace all three spaces with single space.

You need three passes - try the following macro

With ActiveDocument.Range
.Text = Replace(ActiveDocument.Range.Text, " ", "@@@")
.Text = Replace(ActiveDocument.Range.Text, " ", "")
.Text = Replace(ActiveDocument.Range.Text, "@@@", " ")
End With

Or even

With ActiveDocument.Range
.Text = Replace(.Text, " ", "@@@")
.Text = Replace(.Text, " ", "")
.Text = Replace(.Text, "@@@", " ")
End With
