Just a quick note, at work I use the Mac version, while at home I use the PC version OneNote 2013, which is Microsoft’s older version of the platform. They have a OneNote 2016, but I wasn’t a huge fan. It gets confusing quick, but generally all versions work the same, they just looks slightly different. When copying content to OneNote, the performance is usually normal. Sometimes it is not normal if the content has special formats. Whether can check the code display HTML. When I search online, I found that when copying code with highlighting from IDE to Onenote, the disappearance of spaces for indentation is frequent. This is not urgent. OneNote is available for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. There's also an online version and a Windows 10 App version that's more touch-friendly than the desktop version and also simpler. Each version differs from the others at least slightly in terms of features, with OneNote on Windows desktop packed with the most features.

Get OneNote for free! Works on Windows 7 or later and OS X Yosemite 10.10 or later.

Have you ever tried to block justify your paragraphs (make your right margin even) in a Word document and ended up with an amateurish look of too much space between words? Try this instead (Word versions 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013+ listed).

  1. Select the text you want to block justify.
  2. Right-click on the text, and click Paragraph.
  3. On the Indents and Spacing tab, click the drop-down next to Alignment, and click Justified, OK.
  4. Right-click on the text again, and click Format, Font.
  5. Tick the Kerning for fonts box (on the Character Spacing tab, and set font size to match the size of the font in your paragraph* (kerning is the spacing between characters and each font set has its own kerning). Spacing should be set at Normal.**But play around with this until you’re satisfied by changing everything in this step. Also try using “condensed” and alter the spacing until you’re satisfied.
  6. Click OK.

Fixing a Short Sentence

Paragraph

If you ever have a very short sentence at the end of a paragraph that spreads out in spite of your adjustments, click behind the last character of that paragraph, and press Tab to close it up. Occasionally, you’ll have to reword to fill up space.

UPDATE: In Word 2013:

  • Click the File tab, Options, Advanced.
  • Go to absolute bottom of the Advanced options, and click to expand Layout Options.
  • Tick “Don’t expand character spaces on a line that ends with SHIFT-RETURN“.

This tip does not work if you use the Courier font. This is a monospaced (or non-proportional) font which is a typewriter-like, fixed-width font, and each letter occupies the same amount of space. Other computer fonts are variable-width (or proportional) and the software adjusts the spacing automatically. (This is why since the advent of computers, only one space follows a period, not two.)
