The grammar check will pick up extra spaces only if they follow a period or
other terminal punctuation (end of a sentence).

I have Microsoft Word 2002, and do not seem to be able to get the grammar
check to recognize that there are extra spaces between words within a
sentence. I have tried re-setting the grammar check options to re-check
my
document, and it still is not recognizing the extra spaces. I don't know
how
else to do it.
