How very odd! Failing wild cards, you can always just search for two spaces
repeatedly until Find returns no results.

That expression works in my copy of Word 2007, and it should work in
yours. If
you can't make it work, then try surrounding the space character (but not
the
{2,}) in square brackets:
[ ]{2,}
It definitely doesn't work 
I've tried both suggestions, to no avail...
I've also turned on the "Show all formatting marks" just in case I was
wrong about the empty spaces, and they was really there! I counted 13 dot
marks just between the first surname and his time.
I've also tried the ^s character (non-breaking space), just to receive the
same disappointing error message
