Default Need Help Fast! - Word 2003 question

This suggestion is fine for adding Spacing Before/After a paragraph, but the
OP asked about adding "an additional space" (that is, the kind you enter
with the spacebar) after every *sentence.*

I'm going to assume that the primary style in use for the document is

Normal,
and if that's the case you can modify the Normal style and add x number of
points before and after each paragraph.

The instructions that follow are for Word 2003, if you're using an

earlier
version you can still do this but the sequence of commands might be

somewhat
different:

Click FORMAT in the Word menu and select STYLES AND FORMATTING. In the

Task
Pane right click on the NORMAL style and select MODIFY. Check the
AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE check box and then click the FORMAT command button

and
select PARAGRAPH. In the dialog box click INDENTS AND SPACING if

necessary
and in the SPACING panel of the tab page set the before and after spacing

for
the normal paragraph. When finished, click the OK command button twice to
return to the document

Repeat this process for any of the styles you might have used in the

document.

Once a lengthly Word 2003 document has been completed (I'm editing for a
client), is there a way or some command so I can add an additional space
AFTER each sentence in the document at one time, or does this have to be

done
manually? This is a professional Paper to be presented at an

there
can give me; I appreciate it!
