I think it is fairly clear from the threading (and quoting) that I am
replying to Jay's post. It is not native Word behavior but can be caused by
voice recognition software.

Ms. Barnhill,

Are you replying to Mr. Daniels or to the OP? Does the dictation or voice
recognition software create an autocorrect entry that corrects
periodspace with periodspacespace?

Because that isn't the built-in behavior of Word, there isn't any
built-in way to turn it off. I have no idea what's causing it on your
computer, but it isn't normal.

Are you certain there are two spaces there? Click the ¶ button to
display nonprinting characters, and check for two dots after the
period instead of one.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a
worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat." - TR
