[texhax] How I do This ?

[Adam Spargo]

I think this is more likely something to be done by your editor than 
your typesetting package. Emacs could be configured to do it I guess, but 
again, why? Surely you want to proof read documents, you might have put 
the wrong word somewhere rather than joining two together.
