That expression works in my copy of Word 2007, and it should work in yours. If
you can't make it work, then try surrounding the space character (but not the
{2,}) in square brackets:
[ ]{2,}
It definitely doesn't work
I've tried both suggestions, to no avail...
I've also turned on the "Show all formatting marks" just in case I was wrong
about the empty spaces, and they was really there! I counted 13 dot marks
just between the first surname and his time.
I've also tried the ^s character (non-breaking space), just to receive the
same disappointing error message
