i am not sure there is a standard, but most people use single spaces these
days. double spaces is extra typing, and can add "rivers" of space,
especially if you also fully justify the paragraphs. apart from that, it
depends who you are writing for, and what their preference is (or the
preference of the organisation).

Hello All,
What is the commonly accepted standard for the number of spaces between
sentences in formal writing? I see that Word 2002 permits selecting "1
space", "2 spaces", or "Don't check" in the Tools menu | Options | Grammar
and
Spelling | Settings.
I examined several sources like the Wall Street Journal, some Microsoft
manuals, and some text books. In those publications that are
right-justified,
it's impossible to tell, however in left-justified text, the predominant
style
appears to be one space.
Is there a standard?
