Now that's interesting. I Have seen one space from time to time, but
never knew why. I sometimes long for the days of Pica and Elite, when
laying out a document. In the immortal words of Edith Bunker, "You knew
where you were then." However, I've managed to figure out which
font-size combinations are functional equivalents of the old Pica,
10-space-per-horozontal-inch, format, and that's what I use. Vertical
spacing will have to look after itself.

I preface this suggestion by acknowledging there's a debate about
whether there should be one or two spaces after the end of a sentence.
Despite my pre-computer typing training, I have been convinced that
modern print fonts mean that two spaces are no longer desirable. So the
way I solve the problem you describe is to search for two spaces and
replace with one space. If you think there might be an odd number of
spaces, say three, then search for that number first and replace with a
single space. Then search for all instances of a double space and
replace with that single space.

hi,
i am writing a lots of reports and i did figure out formatting issues,
but i am not sure how will i know if there are extra spaces between
words, sentenses and paragraphs without reading word by word which is so
time consuming? for sighted people, microsoft word highlights but is
there any way to know with jaws? microsoft's spell checke option says
that there is extra space and suppose to change it to make corrections,
but they still remain and is there a way to deal with this issue with
jaws?
i would be very thankful for your help.
hina.
