[Solved] Spacebar

Post by gercolbert »

When I'm in Open Office writer and starting a new memo, the space bar will only move one space and then move no further. The cursor stays on the left margin unless you start typing letters. Any suggestions?

gercolbert,

Could you post one of such document with just two or three spaces at the beginning? We could then check if it is a problem with a narrow column, alignment, etc. Create a reply, then below the textbox where you enter your text, you should see two tabs with "options" and "upload attachment". Use the second one and enter your file name.

See if that's not the same issue: Keyboard space bar fails to work -- need help asap.

Thanks to add '[Solved]' in your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

It's not something as simple as Tools > AutoCorrect > Options > Ignore double spaces is it?
