Extra spaces before commas and periods

I have found that when copying text from Word and pasting into Dreamweaver,
often times a space will be inserted before some commas or periods. I noticed
this a while ago so I don't remember if the problem happened only with "paste"
or with "paste text" as well. I'll try to find a file where this happens
consistently and post more details. In the mean time, I just wanted to see if
anyone else had noticed the same thing? Any idea why this happens and how to
fix it? Is it something in the Word document, or a Dreamweaver bug?

Thanks,
Marc

It's an undocument feature to be certain that you have proofread your pasted
text. It bothers the heck outta me too. Hopefully DMX 200X will have this
fixed.

Please let Macromedia know how you feel about this -

This is a known bug--we've all seen it. Hopefully, it will be addressed
with the next version of Dreamweaver.
