Re: [libreoffice-users] Can't find setting

The typographic standard is to only use one space between sentences with 
proportionally spaced fonts. However, if you use a fixed-width font, like 
Courier, then using two spaces is appropriate. But, you should only use a 
fixed-width font if you are required to by some outside party.

I have long been in the habit of putting a double space between
sentences.  I learned that in a typing class, IIRC.  What's the proper
proceedure in LO?
