Format a period the way that you want it and then select it (alone) The
from the Tools menu select Auto Correct Options and go to the AutoCorrect
tab. You should see a period in the "With:" control. Click on the
"Formatted text" radio button and the period will be replaced with the one
that you formatted. Enter a period into the "Repace:" control and then
click on the Add button.
Note, you will probably need some way of replacing all of these formatted
periods with ordinary ones when you print the document.
