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.
