Maybe you have an AutoCorrect entry that turns periodspace into
periodspacespace. You can remove that from your AutoCorrect list -- which version of Word?

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? Suzanne S.

Mr. Daniels
Have you ever tried to create and autocorrect entry periodspace? You can't. As soon as you type the space the "Add" control on the dialog is disabled. Peter T.

Kelly,
I second Jay Freedman's comment about features. This behavior is not a Word feature. Have you confirmed that the first space following the period is not inserted when you type the period? You or someone else using your PC may have created a autocorrect entry that corrects a period with a period and space. Look in your AutoCorrect list and see if you have such and entry. If so, delete it. Other than that you might try starting Word from the command line with a startup swich to start without any templates or AddIns: StartRunwinword.exe \a If that solves the problem then you will just need to identify the AddIn that causes the behavior. kelly wrote: When you end a sentence and hit the .(period) and then hit the space bar, two spaces are automatically provided.

You're right, I was wrong. I was just tacking onto the end of the thread,
Peter's being the last post, a reply to Jay's. But the way you quoted in your post made it appear that my reply was to Jay's.
