Default Double space between sentences?

Hi old timer,

Whilst you could automate the insertion of a double space after every
period, you'd often find doing so inappropriate. For example, you probably
wouldn't want a double space after every abbreviation that ends with a
period, or following the last sentence in a paragraph.

Cheers

Over the years I have adopted the habit of using two spaces between a full
stop (aka period) and the first letter of the next sentence when

continuing the
paragraph. See, just like here. IMHO this adds to the readability of the

text.

Is there ANY way to automate this (Office97?)
