  Hi Nancy. I, too, remember the days of putting two spaces after each 
sentence. However, that doesn't happen anymore. It is completely by accident if 
a scanning program does that most of the time, so I would replace two spaces 
with one. By the way, sorry! I thought I fixed all occurrences of that with the 
book you're proofing!

  Hi all,
  I hope this question will be simple.  When I learned to type, I was told to 
put two spaces at the end of a sentence.  When I'm proofing a book, should I 
fix it if it has only one or should I find/replace occurrences with two spaces 
with only one space?  Boy, I'm giving myself away as a braille and audio 
reader.  Sorry if this sounds too elementary.
