One option:
Go to Tools AutoCorrect Options
In the Replace box, put a period (.)
In the With box put a period followed by two spaces (. )
repeat for all end punctuation marks.
Be aware that this will also add two spaces after abbreviations.

In the Spaces Required between sentences, enter a 2. When you run the
Spelling and Grammar checker, it will prompt you to correct the ones that
aren't at 2 spaces.

Tanya,
Word doesn't offer an option to automatically double space after
punctuation. Would you really want to double space after say a comma anyway?
If tapping the space bar twice is too much trouble and you can wait until
your draft is finished, then you could use the following find and replace
sequence to make corrections for you.
Edit>Replace>More>Use Wildcards
In the find what field type: ([.:\!\?])space{1,}
In the repalce with field type: \1spacespace
Click replace all.
Where space is a single tap on the space bar.
This will find all instances of . : ! ? plus one or more spaces and replace
it with the same punctuation and two spaces. If you insist on the comma then
add it between the period and colon in the find what string above.
If you use this regularily it is easy to record as a macro and run it from a
toolbar icon or keyboard shortcut.

I tried the same code in macro for adding two spaces after a period and one space after a comma.
It is working for period but not for comma
Kindly give the whole code if you have it .
