You can use Find to find occurrences of double/multiple spaces.
Where you want double spaces, use the non-breaking space feature - hold down
the Ctrl key as you type a space. See "Inserting Protected Spaces" in Help.
You can change double space to single space or to {<space> <Ctrl space>} as you
want; the second option will preserve the double space even with Ignore Double
Spaces turned on.
A protected space will show as grey if you have Show Field Shadings turned on -
which I recommend if you use forms at all.
