"Adjust space between Latin and Asian text"?

[David]

What does it mean when a style has this attribute;
also "Asjust space between Asian text and numbers". The
help file is silent, and there is no reference to it on
this site. It is not an option available anywhere in the
Style manager, and I can find no way to remove it.

Thanks!

Does this answer your question?

Hi David,

With the cursor in some style that shows this paragraph property, you can
change it with
Selection.Style.ParagraphFormat.AddSpaceBetweenFarEastAndDigit=wdToggle
(same for .AddSpaceBetweenFarEastAndAlpha)

Unless Asian support is installed (with Asian typography tabs in the
dialogs) it will be difficult to change these settings from the user
interface.
One way in Word2002/2003 might be to change the settings for the current
paragraph from the "Reveal formatting" pane, and then update the style to
match the selection.

Regards,
Klaus

... and by the way: if you see this stuff in style definitions, it might be
a sign that some compatibility options are set ("Tools > Options >
Compatibility").
I think the default for those settings changed between Word97 and Word2000.
Setting the options to the defaults for your version might remove them.

Regards,
Klaus
