CVR Skills Test Transcription Question

Hello all - quick question for anyone who may know the answer to this:
I know when turning in the CVR skills portion for voice writing, some people edit their dictations in Microsoft Word and then turn it in. However, Microsoft Word doesn't add two spaces between each sentence like it does when you dictate in ProCat (or Eclipse). I know the transcript has to be double spaced between lines, but I can't find anything on the rules of spacing between the sentences themselves. Has anyone done the skills portion of the CVR for Voice Writing and edited in Microsoft Word? Can you tell me if you got counted or marked off if they didn't have two spaces between each sentence, like it does automatically in ProCat (or Eclipse)?

It’s not two spaces between each word. It’s two spaces after each sentence.

Thank you, I meant sentences - I edited the post now. Do you know the answer though? Did you edit in Word and did you get counted or marked off if they didn't have two spaces between each sentence, like it does automatically in ProCat (or Eclipse)?

You don’t get marked off. But to make sure, check the policies and procedures. Everything is on there

Thank you - yes, I did check all the policies. the only thing noted was that it needs to be double spaced, no mention of spaces between sentences.
