Two spaces

If you want to replace them, enter one space -- 

Have I misunderstood?

Subject: [dba-OT] Finding double spaces in a Word Doc

I'm editing a long word doc where I'm trying to eliminate the double spaces between words and after sentences (leftover bad habit of mine).

When I do a find on two spaces, the find instead stops at my dashes which I inserted using ctrl -, which it identifies as an dash.

How can I find the occurrence of a double space?  This is Word 2010 BTW.

TIA
