How can I set FM 2015 to use double spaces after a full stop?

I use a format that requires a double space after ther full stop but can not seem to get FM to do it. Any suggestions?

Cheers

If you go into Format > Document > Text Options, you can deselect the Smart Spaces option. This will allow you to type two spaces in a row. FrameMaker does not automatically insert two spaces after a full stop. You have to do that manually.
