Wow, thanks for all the speedy responses, this is SO not like what I am used to. I'm sorry to be so late replying, but my workplace pc blocks me from the login, so I will only be able to post to MobileRead from the computers at the local library. This is the first time this has happened to me, and I participate in a number of forums.
Now I must apologise, I think I confused myself while trying out different text formats and etcetera. I believe it may have been using CALIBRE to CONVERT the files (to PDB format) that collapses my double-spacings. So I will have to carefully experiment and take notes of the results, and then go post in the correct sub-forum if that is indeed what happened.
You folks have given me some useful bits of information that I will certainly use in future. Yes, my documents all do already have double-spacing after punctuation. I either type them that way, or use search & replace to get them that way, followed by Word macros to clean out the abbreviations, like Mr. and Mrs. I get the feeling that I am definitely in a minority who want this kind of layout.
I'll be back to report results.
Thanks again to all of you, you friendly people !!!!
