I would use the spell check function to check for the spaces, but I would 
not try the replace bit.  The reason I say this is because if you have more 
than two spaces, and you replace it with only one space, you will still have 
at least two or more spaces.  For example, let's say your sentence ends and 
you've accidently pressed space three times instead of once.  If you did 
spellcheck, it would probably show you there was more than one space and 
allow you to replace this with a single space, but now the sentence would 
have two spaces and not one because of the extra space.  Sorry if this is 
confusing.  Please just save the file with another name before playing so 
you can always revert back to the previous if your find and replace trials 
don't turn out how you prefer.  Also, if possible, you could use a Braille 
display to deal with this issue.  Anita
