I'm pasting selected portions from a few different PDFs into MS Word, and in some cases entire sentences get pasted together as one word without spaces in between (eg: whatImeanistextlikethis). Manually inserting spaces between every single word gets exhausting. Is there any built-in way or a plugin to automatically do such a thing? MS Word obviously knows what words are supposed to be, from its dictionary, so I'm hoping there's a plugin or macro out there that utilizes this to do an intelligent splitting.
Update: I've now tried Ctrl+V, Paste Text Only, Paste Special (Unformatted Text) and Paste Special (Unformatted Unicode Text), with no difference. Pasting into plain old notepad also pastes the words clumped together.
Update2: Here's some relevant links for anyone else looking into splitting words automatically:

I understand what you're looking for, but honestly I'm in doubt of such a script/plugin/macro based on the complexity of the operation you want... luckily I'm confident there's a simpler solution. I'm not expert on the matter but I'm certain Word is incorrectly interpreting the formatting of the text. I would paste into notepad first, see if the spacing is correct there, then paste THAT into Word.
