I normally don't use the full spell checker. Instead, I hit cmd-semicolon to move to the next misspelled word (make sure you have interacted with the text first). I either correct the word, jump to the end (option-right) and get the suggestions that way, or vo-shift-m and find the suggestion I w

Hi Phil, I have not used it much but the proofreading function on the mac will catch this extra white space. I access this by pressing VO+Shift+M to pull up a context menu and arrowing down to the proofreading sub menu. I agree that the Spell/Grammar check in MS word does seem to be a more eff

I don't understand why having extra spaces between words is so unheard of. I do a lot of editing as I write, and it's inevitable that some extra spaces are left here and there. MS word's spellchecker will find and eliminate all this extraneous white space. There seems to be no equivalent functio

Just to be sure, you know the Mac can spell-check, right? I'm not trying to tell you how to work, I'm just making sure you know what tools you have available. On Sep 5, 2013, at 8:17 PM, Phil Halton wrote: > Actually, I'm finding it much easier to write my posts in Word and use it's > excellen

My first thought is to just do a search (vo-f) for two spaces. I suppose you could make, or ask someone to make, an Applescript to do the job, if Mars Edit can be scripted, but it seems far easier to simply become more comfortable with mac commands so the extra spaces don't appear in the first p

It's nothing the Mac is doing. It's purely the way I type, cut and paste text. That being settled, how can I check for extra whitespace in the text? It looks sloppy and unprofessional at best. Sent from my IPhone On Sep 5, 2013, at 10:45 AM, Alex Hall wrote: > Are you highlighting spaces as

Are you highlighting spaces as well? I've never had extra spaces randomly appear; any additional or missing spaces are due to the way I selected or erased text, not the Mac deciding to insert them without my knowledge. On Sep 5, 2013, at 10:39 AM, Phil Halton wrote: > No, it's definitely happen

No, it's definitely happening. As you cut and paste words and do other editing options you get extra spaces between words you can actually count them with the cursor. I'm thinking about using Microsoft office word to write my blogs and spellcheck them and me and then let Marsetta do the posting.

I've never had this happen in emails, Text Edit, iText Express, or anywhere else I can think of. Are you sure it is not a mars Edit setting, or that you are not somehow re-reading whitespace characters? I only ask because you said you are new to editing text, and it can take a while to get the h

I just bought Marsedit and started filling in my "about" page on a wordpress blog. From extensive editing and the funky way Mac handles text, I find a lot of extra white space between the words. I've never had to deal with much text editing on the Mac before and want to know how I can check for
