Re: Autocorrect help please
Sadly, that kind of correction isn't possible in AutoCorrect.
You can get the grammar checker to flag occurrences of two spaces at the end
of a sentence. In Tools > Options > Spelling & Grammar, click the Settings
button and set "Spaces required between sentences" to 1. However, that won't
automatically correct the occurrences.
You can use the Replace dialog to search for all period-space-space and
replace with period-space. You can use the macro recorder to record this
action (http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/UsingRecorder.htm) and assign it
to a keystroke or a button. With a little more macro work, you could call
the first macro whenever a document is saved or printed
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/InterceptSavePrint.htm).
