Default Word 2016 - Set spaces after period?

You used to be able to set spaces after a period in File-->Options-->Proofing. Towards the bottom of the window, at "Writing Style", you could click settings and then have an option to change spacing after a period.



In Word 2016, this feature is gone. (I can still get to "Settings" but the styling after a period part is no longer there). My Word version is the latest Office 365 full desktop install.

Is there a work around? Did MS move this somewhere else?

Thanks for your help.

The feature has been deprecated in Word 2016, probably because very few users used it.

I could be wrong, but I believe these options are supposed to be restored in a future fix/update.
