You can use "hard spaces" in Word. These are actually called "nonbreaking spaces." You can insert them through Insert, Symbols, Special characters, or by using Ctr+Shift+Space. ________________________________ From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] on behalf of Eyþór Þrastarson [eythor@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2012 7:10 AM To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] making spaces pass over from word Hi I am wondering if it is possible to make spaces translate correctly from a word document into a dbt braille document instead of dbt always compressing multiple spaces to a single space. My project is a book that contains braille music and so I need to be able to have measure numbers appear in every other line and but the notes must always start on the exact same cell of the line leaving basically 3 cells blank at the beginingof every other line. Best regards Eyþór
