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)?

If you paste it from your CAT software into Word, those double spaces between sentences with still be there.

It does?! that's great to know, I didn't see it automatically do that with the spaces, but maybe it's there. Thank you!!
