[QUOTE="seymore, post: 1685367, member: 363931"] [b]typing events with no spaces[/b] Brilliant, toMACsh! Typing events without spaces works! BUT... here are some limitations: For me (10.9.5), the no-spaces technique ONLY SAVES THE DATA IN DEFAULT CALENDAR (I call mine "Personal" and it's purple) AND it only works if I hit "enter" after entering the calendar data (I used to be able to save Event data by either "enter" or field-clicking, but field clicking no longer saves the data when CREATING an event in Mac.) I tested the idea in the quote above, "... but I wonder what would happen with this one if you then went into Edit mode and tried to add spaces." The result: Editing an event created (without spaces) on my MAC: 1) As long as I stayed in the default calendar I could add spaces and enter data, then save with "enter" or field-clicking, and ALL CHANGES WOULD BE SAVED; 2) If I changed the calendar (e.g. switched from my "Personal" calendar to "Work" calendar) the calendar switch would be saved but NO DATA CHANGES WOULD BE SAVED, including the spaces, no matter whether I hit "enter" or field-clicked. Editing an event created (with or without spaces) on my IPHONE: 1) The calendar entry was saved to my mac with ALL THE DATA and IN THE CORRECT CALENDAR; 2) In edit mode on my mac, ALL CHANGES WOULD BE SAVED, no matter whether I hit "enter" or field-clicked. Bottom line: 1) If you want spaces in your data AND to use separate calendars, then create the events on your iPhone (or probably other devices). 2) If you don't use separate calendars, then create the events without spaces and then either edit them or don't.
