Default Find and Replace - Period and space at end of sentence

JoAnn: Found your response while searching for way to delete the extra space.
I'm the culprit and have been told to quit doing double space after
punc...Is there a way to use AutoText or AutoCorrect to do this for me? I
can't seem to get them to accept "spacespace" as something that should be
replaced with "space"

Thanks.

Have a very large document. Sentences end with a period and a space.
Want
to change this to a period and space space. I have been able to FIND the
sequence with ".space[A-Z]" but have not been able to insert the extra
period. Note that I only want to insert the extra space when and if the
following character after the space is a capital Alpha. Some entries in
the
document are in the form of ".space#" For example, See spot run.spaceHow
now
brown cow. TO See spot run.spacespaceHow now brown cow.

Thanks,
