Is there any way to create an auto change that will replace my double space
after a period to one space? I can't break my habit of double spacing between sentences, but I only want one space. I thought there was an option to do this built into Word, but I couldn't find the option. Thank you for your help. |

Sorry, the AutoCorrect feature won't handle this. What you can do is set a
rule in the grammar checker (Tools Options Spelling & Grammar Settings Spaces required between sentences) to make it flag two spaces as an error. If you wait until you finish editing the document, you can then run a Replace to change period-space-space to period-space. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
