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.)
Sorry, but this is somewhat confused.
First, I didn't write any of the above. Do please take care when you
edit messages that you do not misattribute what was written.
Second, the comment above that something didn't work with spaces was
referring to AutoCorrect, not Find & Replace. Finding or editing such
multiple spaces using Find & Replace had already been discussed
successfully: that wasn't what didn't work.
Third, your suggestion that spaces cannot be used naturally in the
"Search for" field in Find & Replace is simply wrong: they can. There is
no need for your complicated workaround, in fact.

First I was merely describing how to search for and replace the (Dot
Space Space) string with a (DOT Space) string. I wasn't
"misattributing" any thing to anyone.
Second I tried searching and replacing with the actual period and space
characters. It DIDN'T work.
Third when I see someting that indicates that you have officially been
appointed list cop I MIGHT pay attention to you , but I doubt it.
Until then, PLONK.
