Hi Rafael:
You keep "forgetting" this one, don't you :-) We have told you several
times over the past years, and the answer hasn't changed :-)
1) Search for ". " (period and two spaces) and change it to .%%
2) Search for ". " (period and one space) and change it to .%%
3) Search for ".%%" and change it to ". " (period and two spaces).
You can use any character you like in place of %, I use % because it is
very
unlikely to occur in my text.
Is this a good time to mention that "two spaces" is wrong? :-) That is
an
old convention that was introduced in the days of typewriters, to emulate
the behaviour of professional typesetters. A typesetter uses an "em
space"
between sentences. It's a single fixed-width space.
Modern electronic typesetters will substitute this character whenever they
see "period, spaceband". So you do not need two spaces any more, unless
you
are using a typewriter.
But as you can see, I can't stop myself from doing it, either :-)
Cheers
