Hmm. You're right. I never tried it until just now, but it doesn't
work with spaces.


To search and replace spaces you must use regular expressions and use
[\x0009 ] as the search term for a space and a regular space
(spacebar) for the replace with term.
ie;

Find;   .[\x0009 ][\x0009 ]
Replace with:   .

Note: There is a space after the dot in Replace with.

This works as needed.  (I tested it.)

But it doesn't work in AutoCorrect, presumably because AutoCorrect
doesn't know about regular expressions.


It doesn't work in autocorrect because it is a Search and Replace operation.
