Replace Single Space with Double Space
I have a document with ONE space after each sentence. I would like to use
"Find and Replace" to change the single space to TWO spaces. This is an easy problem for a human brain, but I'm not sure how to get everything I want (and Not get what I DON'T want) with "Find and Replace". If the sentence already has two spaces after it, I don't want to give it three spaces. -------------------- Example BEFO Sentence one. The second. Here's the third. And finally the last. Example AFTER: Sentence one. The second. Here's the third. And finally the last. -------------------- Here is one idea: I could do a two-step process. Step 1: Replace "period space" with "period space space". Step 2: Replace "period space space space" with "period space space". Is there an easier way to do this? My document is over 60 pages long. Thanks! - John R. Baker |
