And I would leave it with a single space as double spaces were for
typewriters and we have moved on a bit since then. We now have proportional
fonts

I would search for period, space, (not space) - and replace it with
period, space, space, whatever the (not space) was. To do this:

Find . ([! ]) - that's period, space, left parenthesis, left bracket,
exclamation mark, space, right bracket, right parenthesis

Replace . \1 - that's period, space, space, backslash, one

Check Use Wildcards
Hit Replace All

You can record code for it if you want.

I need to do a find and replace on all single spaces after periods,
and replace with two spaces. The problem, of course, is that if I
do just a straight period-space conversion, I will include the
places that already have a period and two spaces after them (with
the find just ignoring the second space in its search).

How can I indicate that I only want it to find periods with a space
and some character after the space, as the find criteria? And then
also importantly, how do I tell it to replace the period-space with
period-two space, and then leave the character untouched?

Thanks.
