I was just hoping that would be unnecessary but since it is necessary, I can live with it. My search/replace list is getting a bit unwieldy and trying to automate is being a bit of a pain.

The first time was the nasty surprise since if I hadn't run Spellcheck again, I wouldn't have noticed those missing spaces which might have made the client unhappy. Now that I am aware of it, I can avoid the issue.
