Absolutely... One little thing that you can do is copy text to a new MS 
Word document, then turn on the display feature that allows all of the 
formatting characters to show.  Then a word space shows as a 'dot' and two 
word spaces shows as 'two dots'... Very handy at times.  I would expect 
that most word processors have a similar feature.
