- You can edit Korean documents using Hancom Docs even if you don't have the Korean program.
Using Hancom Docs
If you haven't purchased Hancom Office or if your computer doesn't have Hangul installed, opening or editing Hangul documents can be a real pain. By joining Hancom Docs (free), you can easily open HWP files online anytime through a web browser. In addition, Han Show, Han Cell, Han Word, and a PDF viewer are also provided for free.
Reducing / Increasing Letter Spacing
You may need to reduce the letter spacing in certain cases to make the letters look better or to prevent sentences from wrapping to the next line. Below is how to reduce the letter spacing.
From the top menu of Hangul, click Format > Font to set the letter spacing to negative.
Alternatively, select the sentence and press the shortcut key Ctrl + Alt + N. To increase the reduced letter spacing, select the sentence and press the shortcut key Ctrl + Alt + W. It is easy to remember if you think of N as Narrow and W as Wide.
Reduce / Increase character spacing
Page Break
When you finish a page and move on to the next, you often press Enter repeatedly to create a page break.
Page turn using the Enter key
This method using Enter won't show up when printing.
However, if the document needs continuous editing, adding or deleting the above page content will require you to remove or add Enter every time to create a page break. If it is a long document? You'll be wasting all your time on Enter.
Press the shortcut key Ctrl + E at the last character of the page to force a page break. This will solve the
problem easily.
Page separation with shortcut key Ctrl + E
The page is cleanly separated without an Enter key. Even if the above page content is added or deleted, the page below will remain fixed and won't move. To add another separated page, press the back arrow key at the first character of the page below.
Paragraph Indentation
Sometimes you may want to indent the first character of a paragraph. Indentation or outdenting is to make the writing look more sophisticated or to make it easier to read long writing. You can simply use the spacebar to space it out, of course. But for long writing with many paragraphs, even that would be tedious.
Setting indentation
Click Format > Paragraph from the top menu of Hangul to access the detailed settings below.
Setting paragraph style
The item [First Line] at the top right of the window will be checked asNormal.
Change this to the second item,Indent, enter a value of about 3, and then click the [Set] button to close the window. Then, the paragraph will be automatically indented at the beginning. (If you want to outdent, check Outdent and enter a value.)
If you don't want to indent automatically, you can press Ctrl + Z to undo the previous action or select the entire text with Ctrl + A, and then go back to Format > Paragraph and change the [First Line] item back to "Normal".
I hope this helped with editing HWP documents. Thank you.
