When you're all done typing, you could use the Replace dialog to replace one space character with two space characters, and click the Replace All button. Just don't try to do this more than once, or you'll wind up with four spaces between words. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

It seems likely that the assignment simply wants double spacing -- which refers to the space between lines, not the space between words. You do that in Format > Paragraph.
