Everyone who’s ever edited a document: oh there’s now a blank page at the end of this Word document, time to get rid of that!
Word: no
Everyone: please delete
Word: shan’t
Everyone: * frantically presses delete backspace delete*
Word: answer me these riddles three
Does that include the dots between words instead of spaces? My colleague uses that and their documents are nigh unreadable to me at a glance
Yes, but you get used to it very quickly.
You don’t enable it for everyone who reads the documents, just yourself.
I’m aware, I just frequently have to do over-the-shoulder proofreading and the dots always frustrate me
It does, but that’s invaluable too, and you get used to it pretty quickly. It let’s you see if there’s a space (dot), tab (arrow), line wrap (bent arrow), or whatever. Very useful if you deal with documents a lot.
