Re: Easiest Way of Proof Reading in Word

Are you confusing double spacing, as in line spacing, with two spaces 
after a period at the end of a sentence?

Then why do some publishers still prefer the double spacing?  I'm sure 
that
there are those who don't care but for those of us who learned typing in
high school back in the day when windows were only used to look out of 
this
formatting is second nature.  Judith

with proportional fonts. IT causes what are known as rivers of white 
which
meander down a page. Double spacing following the period was helpful 
with
fixed fonts as produced on a typewriter because the thinner letters left
white space in patches which meant that the wider spaces of a double 
space
were more easily recognized and the appearance was not so obvious with
already more white space.
