The wild card Find pattern that I suggested means “search for a period character followed by a space character, itself followed by any character that is not a space character”. This should normally rule out double space characters.
Maybe your period characters or your space characters are special and don’t correspond to HTML entities ^46 and ^32.
Could you post a short sample document illustrating this problem?
