Proper Spacing when using a computer

Yesterday, someone emailed us at The POV Lounge and asked a writing question. Here's the question and my answer is below:

Jay Miller
What is the proper spacing after punctuation when using a computer? Will every sentence need to be changed? I use Word. Thanks Jay Miller

"The proper spacing after punctuation is two spaces. You will only need to change your sentences depending on who you are sending your work to. It also depends on your plans for the work. My advice is to research what the publisher, editor or person you are submitting your work to requirements are and then take it from there. Going back and adding spces to your work could be hard work. So determine what your publication path is and take it from there"

If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!
