Hi Deborah (C).
To break your "habit" (AKA perfectly legitimate
typing training) without having to do so:
Word (2003) Tools > Autocorrect Options? , then
replace those double spaces with a single one on the fly.
Problem solved.

Is the documentation produced by the company
mainly in print or online? Extra spaces are
automatically removed from web pages (unless you
force it with a non-breaking space) which is
great for this type of situation. The double
spacers can keep doing it and the single spacers are happy.
I must confess I am a double spacer, although
trying very hard not to be. It drives my boss
nuts, but it is just how I learned to type. I
have just gone back through this email and
removed all the double spaces and have also set
Word to do it for me. I still prefer the look of
a double space but figure there isn't any point
as most of my output is online. It is a very
hard habit to break. I've been trying for 6 months now!
