2 spacing after every full stop of a sentence

Hi,

I believe the old norm is to have two spacing after the end of a sentence before starting a new sentence.  But nowadays many people are using only one spacing.  I need to try to make it a consistent way to follow.  Is there an easy way to scan through all the document and make sure changes are applied to follow at least one norm.

  • You can have the grammar checker (Editor) watch out for double spaces and flag single spaces as incorrect/inconsistent. 

    I Word for Windows, click File > Options > Proofing and scroll down to Writing Style. Click Settings. Find the "Space between sentences" option and set your preference.
