spacing between words in MS Word

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can do that. You can use kerning and
you can also use expanded font but I don't think you can automatically put
two spaces between each word. To use expanded font: Format|Font|Character
Spacing|Spacing|Expanded.

Is there a reason why you want two spaces between words? There may be other
ways to do what you think you need.

As others have indicated this cannot be done automatically - nor should this
old typewriter practice be necessary with proportional fonts. Some cannot
get over the need to use double spacing after a full stop (period) and
Word's grammar checker can be set to display those, but if you want *all*
spaces double spaced then either press space twice between each word or use
replace to replace

([! ])([ ])([! ])
with
\1\2\2\3

with the wildcard option set. This will replace all single spaces only with
two spaces.
