how do i set it up to have double spaces between each word .

it would look like this ?

There is no way to set up Word to do this as you type. After you have
finished, you could use Edit>Replace to replace one space with two spaces.

Doug's given the obvious answer. But the obvious question is why do you want
to do this? (Just curious.)

Karen, if you must spread apart your text, do it instead with Format-->Font,
Character spacing tab, Spacing setting. That way, you can get rid of it any
time you want without placing or deleting all those characters.

But I don't recommend it either.

She wanted space between the Words, not between all the letters. But:
Your suggestion lead me to a neater solution: Finish the document, use
Edit -> Search to search for all spaces. Just press the space-bar in
the "Search for"-box, put a checkmark in the box "Select all elements
in:" and click Search for all. Then you can apply character spacing
from Format -> Font -> Character spacing. Set it to the same number of
points as your font size. To reset it: Select all text (Ctrl + A),
apply a different spacing and then normal spacing.
