Default Two Spaces After Colon in Word 2010

If I type : after certain words (such as Meeting, Data, Time, Location), Word automatically enters two spaces after the colon.
For example:
Time: 12:00pm

I would like to change that to


Time: 12:00pm

But the extra space cannot be deleted. When I try to delete one space, Word deletes both.
How can this be fixed?

Thank you

Hi alpinegraove,

That isn't the standard behaviour, so it appears someone's added that to your Word configuration as an Autocorrect customization. See: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...in=HP010082297
