Font thai sarabun it9. By default, the spelling and grammar check in Microsoft Word 2010 and 2013 does not check for sentence spacing, allowing you to use either one or two spaces after a period without prompting a warning. To ensure your documents have a consistent spacing, set the number of spaces required in the grammar check settings and then run a full check or watch for blue underlines, which indicate formatting inconsistencies.

If you need to do the spacing on a document you've already written, I would try doing the following (after the essay is finished): Go to the edit menu, select 'replace', and replace '.' (space, period) with '.' (space, space, period). Note: If you already have some double spaces, the technique above will result in some triple spaces. Under Spacing, Line Spacing, select Double and then click OK. Put two spaces after the period for each sentence in the body of the paper (Note, use only one space after a period in your references at the end of the paper). Microsoft Word does not have a setting to automatically put in two spaces at the end of a sentence, but you can set-up the grammar check to alert you when only one space is used.

Step 2

Switch to the 'Proofing' tab and click 'Settings' on the Writing Style line. It doesn't matter whether the adjacent option reads 'Grammar Only' or 'Grammar & Style' -- these options come with a default package of settings, but you can enable the sentence spacing check with either.

Step 3

Click the drop-down menu for 'Spaces Required Between Sentences.' Pick either '1' or '2,' or choose 'Don't Check' to disable the sentence spacing check. This setting applies to all documents you open, so when reading files written by other people, you might want to disable the check to avoid seeing excessive grammar errors. After selecting a number of spaces, press 'OK' on close both open windows.

Click 'Spelling & Grammar' on the Review tab to check for all errors in the document, including incorrect sentence spacing. As you type, Word also marks mismatched spacing with a blue underline that you can right-click to fix the problem.

Tips

• To change all double spaces to single spaces at once, press 'Ctrl-H' to open Find and Replace. Type two spaces in the Find box, one space in the Replace box and click 'Replace All.'
• Change the vertical spacing between lines in Word by clicking the 'Line and Paragraph Spacing' icon, which looks like a set of lines next to up and down arrows, in the Paragraph section of the Home tab. To change the spacing on all document, pick 'Line Spacing Options' in the menu, choose a new spacing and press 'Set as Default.'
