Grammer check option for two spaces after a colon

Guest

Microsoft Word allows the Grammer Check function to check for two spaces
after each period: Tools menu>Options>Spelling & Grammer tab> "Settings"
button under the Grammer section of the window>"Require" section with pull
down menus to select your option/preference. Please add another pull down
menu in this same area to have the Grammer Check to look for two spaces after
a colon as well. Please add this option to the other software programs e.g.
PowerPoint, Excel, etc..

Hi Jedi

You can search and replace for a colon plus two spaces.

Find > Replace. In the "Find what" box, type a colon and two spaces (no, you
won't be able to see the spaces!). In the "Replace with" box, type a colon
and one space. Now, click Replace All to change them all.

Hope this helps.
