Alternatively, you can right-click in the empty document to bring up the context menu.Ĥ. In the new document, go to the Home tab and select the down arrow beneath Paste. Then copy the text either by using Ctrl/Cmd + C or by right-clicking and selecting Copy.Ģ. Select all text, either by pressing Ctrl + A in Windows or Cmd + A in MacOS. Even if you do manage to make the text appear differently, it will likely be back to how it was when you close and reopen the document.
You might try changing the font or line spacing, but nothing will happen. Notice how the words ‘ghost’, ‘breaking’, and ‘now’ split across lines, even though the font and paragraph properties seem fine and the language is set to a standard English dialect. Even when you change these settings, nothing seems to work. When a document contains ghost formatting, the font and paragraph settings in the Home tab appear normal, but something is amiss. This post will explain what this means and how to fix it. But have you ever come across a layout issue in Microsoft Word that seems impossible to fix? If so, you may have experienced the spectre of ghost formatting. lol.When working as a proofreader, you might find that some clients ask you to correct the formatting of a document. The frustration actually made my cry at one point. Ideally, I want to copy paste what I have, EXACTLY as I have it typed with out any alteration, as if I was copy pasting on the same document, not between possibly conflicting formats. Can any one enlighten me on the problem, how it came to be, but more importantly, How to fix it. I have played with paragraph and spacing in both, which effects each in its own documents, but still when I attempt to copy paste from Op-off to Google-doc, the mysterious extra space wants to appear between sentences. In attempting to fix the problem I have created entirely new base documents in each to play with, as well as some experimentation with both originals. I have No explanation for this, and know of No changes made to either doc which can account for it. What is even More perplexing is that the problem didn't originally exist when I started doing this procedure months back, but is a recent development after hundreds of pages translated from one to the other. When I copy past a paragraph of materiel from OpenOffice too Google doc, it creates a space between every sentence in google doc after period, where such does not exist in in the original in open-office.
