Auto Correct Problem

Is there any way to get Word to stop auto correcting a double-space after a
period? I am working on internal documentation and I was getting a little
sick of typing the company name plus", Inc." so I set up an auto text.
Everytime I use the auto text and then continue typing it adds an extra space
after the period and then highlights the next word as not capatilized. I can
go back and just delete the space but is there any way to get Word to stop
adding the extra space? I have looked through the format, tools and other
menus and have checked all of the options that are set to auto correct but
double space after a period is not there to check off.

Recreate the AutoText entry without the trailing space so you only end
up with one space after it is inserted.

Thanks, that did it.
