AAMT second edition/spacing
Does anyone what the AAMT second edition says about character spacing? Specifically, is the standard now two spaces after a period? Thanks

Question to QA about spacing in reports
Subject: Question to QA about spacing in reports

Have to change from 2 spaces after a period to 1 space. If you have only one space after periods in sentences, is it okay to leave 2 spaces after colons? The reason I ask is that some of my expanders have a lot of expansions (like Neck: Supple) that have 2 spaces after the colon and need to know if I have to change them all or can I leave them be?

Any advice is much appreciated!

AAMT BOS 2005 second edition, page 66-67 says:

"When using a proportional-spaced font it is customary to mark the end of a sentence with a single space; however, double-spacing is still widely used, especially with non-proportional fonts, such as Courier. The choice is usually determined by departmental or company policy.

Use either a single character space or two spaces (but be consistent in your usage) after
- the end of a sentence, whether it ends in a period, question m ark, exclamation point, quotation mark, parenthesis, bracket, or brace
- a colon used as a punctuation mark within a sentence

Use a single character space after
- each word or symbol (unless the next character is a punctuation mark)
- a comma
- a semicolon
- a period at the end of an abbreviation

Hope that helps answer your question

Third-spacing is correct. Refers to fluid shift
