You would get that space if Word thinks you're typing in French (and
maybe some other languages). Be sure the language of your text is set
to English (or whatever it should be). You can display the language in
your Status Bar (the bottom frame of the document window) by right-
clicking on the bar and choosing it from the list.
To set the language for the whole document, select it all (Ctrl-A) and
choose the language from that entry in the status bar.
