Guess I will be doing a lot of finding and replacing this weekend on my 2nd book :)BethRinyuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984356154613412286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4494252781114528937.post-69384852374986747222013-01-16T15:42:46.770-08:002013-01-16T15:42:46.770-08:00Well, dealing with two spaces *does* make typograp...Well, dealing with two spaces *does* make typographers crazy. Fortunately, it's easy to put them in as you type and then take them out before the final draft goes to the publisher (or designer, if you're self-pubbing) -- just do a find/replace in Word, and have it replace every instance of two spaces with one space.<br /><br />For what it's worth, you're not wrong about that rule, but as the article says, it came from the days of typewriters and monospaced fonts. The *real* rule as applied today should be "two spaces for monospaced fonts, one space for proportional fonts".Kella Campbellhttps://plus.google.com/107189229576215112844/aboutnoreply@blogger.com
