I thought I had it about right, but thanks for the conformation. I've
actually bounced between 11 and 12 over the years, and I usually use
Courier at home. Here I use whatever's there. Most of my hard copy is
based on templates anyhow, so it's not as important.

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.
