I am trying to create labels. I inserted a picture and 2 text boxes. In one text box I wrote "Jennifer's" next line "Baby Shower". When I changed the text direction it changed the spacing in my first word to "Jennifer' s". It added a extra space before
the "s". i try backspacing but it deleted my apostate. I checked with help online and they said it was because I changed the text direction & there was nothing I could do to fix it.

I tried this in a table, and I can reproduce the error, but it seems to be primarily a display issue. Even though Print Preview shows the error, the separation on the actual printout is much less pronounced. You might experiment with condensed the character spacing between the apostrophe and s.
In any case, I will report the problem to Microsoft.
Is there a way you can set up the document with changing the text direction? If you rotate the entire document (from portrait to landscape), you should not experience this issue.
