[duxuser] Re: double spaceing

Hi Steve,
 
I'm informed by software development that $as-is was the
instruction to retain spacing, but although never officially
retired, it doesn't work now.
 
It's on file to be looked at, and thanks for the reminder
about it.
 
George.

Don,
 
You might want to put additional spaces between words for
someone who was just learning to read braille.  The reason
you can't just insert spaces is that Duxbury compresses more
than one space to a single space.  There used to be a code
to tell Duxbury not to do that, but I couldn't find it in
the code list, so I assume it was removed.  Now, the only
workaround is the ['] code, which inserts a "hard" or
non-breaking space, which tells Duxbury that you explicitly
want a space in that spot.
 
If you wanted to, you could enter the document with the
requisite number of spaces, and then use the Replace
function to change every space to a hard space, but that's
as much work as the methods already discussed.
 
Steve
