Questions

Does it remove non-breaking spaces?

Yes. Non-breaking spaces (common in text copied from web pages and Word) and other Unicode space characters are all turned into ordinary spaces.

Will it remove my line breaks?

No. Only spaces within a line are changed. To join lines, use Remove Line Breaks.

Should I use one space or two after a full stop?

Modern style guides, including the Chicago Manual of Style and APA, recommend one space.
