However, FM will do find/change and replace a period
followed
by one space with a period followed by two... and replace a
period followed by two spaces with a period followed by
three.
What I find truly bizarre is that FM will "correct" two
spaces after
a period to one space, but if you put *three* spaces after a
period
it lets that go by. Yet another good reason why it's better
to
replace double-spacing with single and avoid ever being in a
situation where you need to do it the other way around.
