February 12, 2007 Thanks morgancreative, I am using "Find" at times, and "Find" / "Replace" at other times, and it still does not work. I will try again. Could it be that the software may not have been properly or fully installed? Thanks, Artrinsic

Feel free to send me the doc to test it to XXXX@XXXXX.COM
Copy an example of the double spaces and paste it into the Find prompt. I suspect that at some stage you have obtained that text from a browser. A browser expresses double spaces as two different characters: a non-breaking space followed by a space. If you search for {space}{space} you will not find {nbspace}{space}. If you search for {nbspace}{space} you will. It's difficult to tell the difference by eye, but if you click your Show/Hide button and perhaps increase the Zoom magnification a little, you will see that the two characters are differently rendered on screen.

1.Find function in Word does not work when searching double spaces
In Windows XP, when I try to find double spaces using the "Find" function so that I can replace them with a single space, it does not work. The "Find" function also does not work when performing searches for words. This function worked well in Windows 2000. Does anyone have a solution to this? - Thanks!!
