Replace period and single space with period and two spaces in MS W

There is a document that I am editing that has a lot of bad grammar. Many sentences only have one (1) space between the preceding period and the beginning of the next sentence. This is not grammatically incorrect, nor is it typographically incorrect. Two spaces between sentences is a throwback to the days of the mechanical typewriter. It is completely unnecessary with word processors and proportionally spaced fonts. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |
