What is the point of having two spaces anyway? That is nothing more than a holdover from the days of typewriters with fixed-width characters and double spaces were used to emphasize breaks between sentences.
Furthermore, a Find/Replace cannot differentiate between periods used for abbreviations (e.g. Mr. Smith) and those that delineate sentences.

True, but I wouldn't mind doing each one manually if replace works. It would save a lot of keystrokes. As it is, I can search for period, one space, capital letter, but I need three/four keystrokes to place the cursor correctly before manually adding the space. |
