How do I get Word to autocorrect the spacing between sentences from one to
two spaces?

With a proportional font, that would be autoINcorrect.

Looking for a procedure, not opinions.

You can't. You can set Grammar check to flag one space between sentences as
an error. You can construct a complicated Find and Replace and record it as
a macro to do it after the fact. But you can't create an AutoCorrect to do
anything involving spaces, because AutoCorrect is triggered by spaces, and
it would create a horrible loop of AutoCorrect craziness; and Word does not
come with this predefined AutoCorrect.
