I must admit my first thought was that the OP's wife should turn on View/Non-printing Characters, which would show a dot for every space. This is not giving a warning as such, but if she's not sure whether there is one space or two at certain points, it will show her that. Similarly around a hyphen. Depends whether she wants a bell to ring (or actually a red wiggly line under the offending point) or just wants to be able to copy edit. //J
