Hitting spacebar inside a field indents the field
This is driving me crazy. Hitting spacebar inside a field indents the field, rather than inserting a space. This may have to do with the new installation of Word 2013, as I don't remember seeing this kind of behavior before.

What kind of field is it? And if it's a form field, is the document protected or not?New Daddy wrote:This is driving me crazy.

No, just plain fields { }.. It happens with any kind of fields, but I was specifically having trouble with {TOC}.Jay Freedman wrote:What kind of field is it?

Sorry, I'm not seeing that behavior in Word 2013. Here's a {FILENAME} field with spaces typed between the letters:
and here's a TOC with the same treatment:
The only thing I know of that might behave that way is, in Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options > AutoFormat As You Type, to check "Set left- and first-indent with tabs and backspaces", but then you'd have to be pressing the Tab key and not the spacebar to make it take effect.
