I am editing an MS that was scanned in rich text format. Originally done on a
typewriter, the author put towspaces at the end of each sentence. I'd like to
change that to one space. Is there some find and replace sequence that would
do it automatically for me rather than have to change each end of sentence
manually. tks.

Search for two spaces and replace with one. Literally. Press the spacebar
twice in the "Find what" box and once in the "Replace with" box. If there's
no good reason for ever having more than a single space, you can search for
^w and replace with a single space.

Just use the Search and Replace. Key in two in the Find box and one in the
Replace box. Then hit Replace All.
