What is the APA rule for spacing at the end of a sentence?
According to APA guidelines there should be only one space after periods and colons. Microsoft Word provides two helpful options for people who are in the habit of typing two spaces. If you have already begun a document, perform a search-and-replace to find two spaces and replace them with one. If you are just beginning a new document, change the options on your grammar check to check for spaces. That way the mistake is highlighted as you make it.
