Sounds like it could be a keyboard problem. Does it do
this in Notepad or any other application where you can
input characters?

Sounds a bit like you have an entry in AUTOCORRECT along the lines of:

Replace "Dot" with "Dot Space Space"

Probably some typist who always figured they would need two spaces
after a full-stop in Word!

Just in case you aren't familar with AUTOCORRECT, from excel:

Tools - AutoCorrect

Look for a single period (dot) in the left hand list being replaced
with {dot}{space}{space} in the right hand list.

Select the entry, and delete.

Probably the same in Word.

HTH,

Alan.
