I think he wants two spaces after a period (full stop), etc.

How do I add an extra space between sentences in Word 2007
Use "find and replace". First of all replace all "fullstop+space" with
simply "fullstop". (That will reduce every gap of a single space between sentences to only a fullstop between the sentences, but will also reduce every gap of two spaces between sentences to simply a fullstop and a single space.) Run the same replacement yet again. (This 2nd run wil result in what were originally 2 spaces, but were reduced by the 1st application to only one space, to no spaces and only the fullstop.) Run it again (and again) until every sentence has only a fullstop between it and the next sentence, with no space. Then, final step, run find & replace yet again, but this time so that it finds every "fullstop" and replaces it with "fullstop+space+space". If you know right from the start that EVERY sentence has only a "fullstop+space" then all you need to do is run "find & replace" so that it replaces every "fullstop+space" with "fullstp+space+space". The initial description allows for all sorts of different spacings between sentences. Of course, watch out for ellipsis. They can sometimes be a combination of "fullstops" and you may not want to add an additional space after them.. "Suzanne S.

This will result in spaces after abbreviations (I've seen a book done this
way, and it was risible). It really is not necessary to have two spaces at the end of a sentence if using proportional fonts. -- Suzanne S.
