Default Space changed to period

There was nothing wrong with JoAnn's answer; it is yours that is "not
exactly right." There is no "option to display (and print) all spaces
between words with periods" *anywhere* in Word. The dots are "nonprinting
characters," which do not print. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm.

Not exactly right. Somewhere in Word 2003, there'a an option to display
(and print) all spaces between words with periods - actually not a period,
but a dot, situated vertically midway between the top and bottom of the
text characters.

It's a simple switch which toggles the spce character on and off and does
so without find/replace.

If you are truly talking about converting a space to a period, use find
and replace. If you are talking about being able to see your non-printing
characters, hit the ¶ button.

I forgot how to make the space character a period and vice-versa. Please
advise.
