RISE and double spaces
Jul 30, 2021
Haven't been able to find the answer yet, so I'm posing it here.
Many of us are still 'old school' and put two spaces between each sentence. Trust me, CANNOT change that habit after many decades of putting two there. However, when creating a RISE course, everything looks good in EDIT mode with the double space, but when it goes to REVIEW or is published, text is no longer left justified; there seems to be an 'extra' space at the beginning of the line. It seems to be when the sentence starts on a new line WHEN PUBLISHED, but it doesn't happen all the time! I then have to publish or REVIEW, scan EVERY paragraph, and remove one space when not left justified. Doing this certainly elongates the design time.
Any solutions other than to retrain my brain to one space (because it'll NEVER happen!), and it still looks funny to me with just one space.

Thanks for your help!
Since I do my writing in Word, I usually just do a find and replace, changing double spaces into single spaces. This is the very last thing I do in my file before I start bringing it into Rise.
That's a good idea!
Is there also a solution for when you're designing directly in RISE?
Like Karin, we do all of our content development and approval in a Word document. We never start Rise development until the content has been approved and signed off.
It's so much easier to do content reviews and handle SME comments in Word.
WOW! I'm gonna have to rethink my entire approach to getting content into RISE! hahahah
But what happens when you're changing existing content, not necessarily starting from scratch? Same thing? WORD > Find and Replace spacing > Copy and Paste?
(For future RISE functionality, "fix" the alignment issue and add FIND/REPLACE???)
I second that idea, Robin! I believe it is already on the future wish list...but if it's not, you should definitely add it!
Yep, those would be on my wish list. Hope one of the product folks sees the request!

Hi Karin and Robin! Thanks for letting us know that you are interested in having a Find-and-Replace feature in Rise 360. I will share this with the team, and if we make any changes that can help, we will post it here.
Thank you!
