Hi friends i am doing a data entry job. For that i need to know full stops as i need to give two spaces after each full stop. Please help me with a software where the software highlights fullstops with a color. SO that it would be easy for me to identify all fullstops. Thank you.

you can try this instead. no external application required. use find/replace function. find '. ' (fullstop, 1 space) and replace with '. ' (fullstop, 2 spaces) without the ''
good luck

I know that and used but you will surely get mistakes with that no matter how perfect you are and last time the mistakes i made were only on these.So that's why i am preferring a software which will highlight fullstops.

oh. the replace function usually works well with me. but i replace them one by one, not replace all. that way i can skip the unwanted changes. then run another search on the replaced characters to double check

That way it would cost lot of time and still there are chances that we can easily make mistakes. I know we can write a macro in the word such as to add color where ever there is a full stop but i forgot the scripting language as it was long back i have used. If you know any on who know VC++ approach them so that they can write a macro to show color when ever and where ever there is a full stop. This was it would be very easy.
