I think there must be a way to automate this by using the Grammar check functionality. to demonstrate this go in to File>Options>Proofing>When correcting spelling and grammar in Word>Writing Style>Settings>Spaces required between sentences and set this to either 1 or 2
Now look at the blue underlined grammar issues on the page. You can see that Word does a good job of working out what a sentence is. It shouldn't be a stretch to make use of that to automate a grammar check that 'fixes' the one vs two space issue.
