Office 2007, I have not been able to locate in 'Proffing' and Auto-Correct
how to make settings to auto-edit if I tpye 2-spaces between a word but need
1-space for a typical document.

Example: I would like to go to the park today.
But should be: I would like to go the park today.

Please help. Thanks.

Use Edit>Replace, click on the More button and check the Use wildcard box
and into the Find what control, type
[ ]{2,}

and in the Replace with control, enter a space. Then click on Replace All
