4. Use One Space After Periods (full stops)
The Kindle conversion process doesn’t like two spaces after periods. Only one space should be used.

In Microsoft Word, you can check for and remove the extra space by doing the following:

1. On the Home tab in the ribbon menu, click the Replace button at the far right or use the shortcut key combo of CTRL + R.
2. In the Find and Replace window, click in the Find what: text box, and enter a period with two spaces after it. Next, click in the Replace with: text box, and enter a period with one space after it.
3. To make all changes automatically, click the Replace All button. Continue clicking the Replace All button until it returns “0 Results.”
