Thank you *so* much Carrie. I should have read all m mail before responding to Mayrie. smile I'm glaad tpo know it does that with tabs, too, because when I started working on copy editing for dummies I was doing that by hand. I'm about to start on that book again so I'm *very* happy to know about the tabs.

The converter automatically changes all multiple spaces down to one space, and changes all tabs to one space too. No need for you to waste your time on this!

You can open find and replace with control h. In the find box press the space bar twice for 2 spaces. In the replace box, press the space bar once for one space. Then press replace all until Word tells you that 0 replacements were made. If this doesn't work, they must be tabs or something else.
