I have always used two spaces between sentences and Word grammar checker has never told me otherwise. I did learn on a typewriter, so I type like that. This is the first time I've heard that I shouldn't. You know, I always wondered why Word only puts one space in when I copy/paste or drag a sentence around. Perhaps a new feature in future word processors could be "use typewriter mode" or "use word processing mode". Then it would automatically convert one to the other. --Greg -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
