Set up a macro...

If you find a second job that requires 2 spaces, just continue to type 1 space, run the macro to create 2 spaces, and you get paid for 2 spaces while only typing 1 space.

I found a macro to do this for you.
This is the link to the entire discussion and the macro for Word, but since there are several macros to do it, you can go and copy it and decide which one you want.

Probably have to make a macro. nm

I think one of my companies has a macro sm
that takes out spaces at the end of lines. I automatically put them in too at the end of a sentence, and sometimes when I have to go back and look at old reports, they are no longer there. So I'm pretty sure i'm not getting paid for something I'm typing. But it's really trivial, so I'm not going to say anything about it.
BTW, maybe you could create some kind of macro to take out excess spaces after you complete a document? it might save you QA problems. i have macros that I run at the end of my documents all the time -- automatically fix capitalizations, remove unused headers, stuff like that. I just make one mega macro for each client and encompass all the little macros that I will need to use for them. Takes about 0.5 seconds per document and takes a lot of headache out of some of the mundane proofing tasks.
I am not the OP, but I would love to set up such a macro. sm
I have set up a macro to align things to the left, but I have no idea what the keyboard steps would be to make this 2-space macro. Would you be kind enough to give me the keyboarding steps to record a macro that will do this? Thanks much.
Macro already created
There is a macro available that will do this for you - you can obtain it at Productivity Talk, it is one of Ed Weber's wonderful macros.
wanna macro
Hi, If anyone has keyboard steps to set up a macro for speech to delete a period and replace it with a comma and one space instead of two, I'd love to hear from you. Also, the reverse would be good. I'd like to deleted the comma, place a period and have two spaces afterwards instead of one. I got the code on Productivity Talk from Ed Webber, but it was like reading Greek; I was lost! Or, it someone knows of a book I can purchase to learn to do these macros, that would be good too! Thanks to any who reply!
Macro Solutions in California
There was recently an ad on MTdaily for a company rep for Macro Solutions in CA. Did anyone apply to that and receive a response? I applied and have received 2 responses. I am beginning to think this is not a legit company and wanted to know if anyone else applied and what they think. Their web site looks legit enough but they basically hired me without even a phone interview, and now are telling me I have to open a bank account at a specific bank before I can work for them. Something fishy going on here?
I am not following how you make the macro, in word? or expander like shorthand? Help me.

It is their own platform but not word based. Shorthand is the macro stuff.
Pretty decent place to work.
