Someone told me to use the following in Find and Replace in order to
get two spaces after periods and colons, where the succeeding

Find: ([.:]) ([A-Z])
Replace: \1 \2
This is so not working for me. Any suggestions or any correction to
the method above? Thanks!
It doesn't work because the replace string puts back the found string
exactly as it was before.
If you want to remove two spaces and replace with one add an extra space in
the search string
([.:]) ([A-Z])
and leave the replace string
or if you want to add an extra space leave the search string and put the
extra space in the replace string
\1 \2
