OL2003 Auto inserts space before ? and !
Using Outlook 2003 with Word as the email editor, a space is being
automatically inserted before question marks and exclamation points. This started recently and I don't know why. How do I disable this? Thanks, David

Is what set to British English? Where should I look? I poked around
Tools/Options and Tools/AutoCorrect Options and did not see any parameter for language. "Alias" wrote in message ...

Alias My languages - keyboard, etc - are all set to British and I have no problems with auto space insert, neither in Outlook nor Word, so the British English thing doesn't look correct. Googling "space before question mark" threw up a Wikipedia reference to what is called French punctuation, where it is customary to insert a space before query or screamer. Vous n'etes pas francais?

Not French. Plain old English.
Where are places I should look to see if something is set correctly. Where is the keyboard setting?

Word is the editor? Check the goofy settings for things like word perfect
compatibility - I don't think that specific one causes it but something in the compatibility options might. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.
