To make all interword spacing the same, regardless of punctuation, you can enter the \frenchspacing markup. This will turn off the extra spacing following punctuation for the rest of a document or until TEXT1 sees a \nonfrenchspacing markup. ã|Example:ã% Consider this bibliographic entry: \bibentry Grabens, Gruss M. 1970. {\it Mechanical Processes in the Human Geomechanism}. Winston: Geomedical Publications, International. Without \frenchspacing it might print as: +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Grabens, Gruss M. 1970. Mechanical Processes in the Human Geomechanism. | | Winston: Geomedical Publications, International. | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ If you had specified \frenchspacing, \frenchspacing \bibentry Grabens, Gruss M. 1970. {\it Mechanical Processes in the Human Geomechanism}.
