    If I have a sentence that has no spaces in the words: is there a tool to fix this?
    I'm trying to find a way that would automate the breaking apart of words when someone typed a paragraph that included no spaces between words. Tool is Word 2007 and language setting English. Example is: Iseemydogdownthestreetandheisrunningtome. Hoped Outcome is: I see my dog down the street and he is running to me. I've tried a couple of the formatting tools Word has with no luck. Something has to be much faster than manually inserting a space after each word. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

    I'm sorry, I think you will have to do it manually, simply because you'll find that the one extremely long would could be broken up in different words which might work as a sentence, just not a sensible one.

    How often do you need to deal with paragraphs with no spaces between words? If it's only occasionally, just do it manually.

    Well unfortunately its never come up before until I had to do transcription of my notes from a meeting... capturing conversations as they went and saved time with one long flow... sadly its 27 pages of one long flow :mad:

    Hi, johnp_engel!

    If I need to take notes at a meeting where I need the notes to be extensive and as complete as possible, I'll make an audio recording of the meeting and let everyone at the meeting know that I'm doing that.

    Then, I'll type a transcription of the meeting.

    Thanks!

    Also, it's worth learning a few basic shorthand words, so you can save time with them, and they will break up the flow.
