Hi Eyþór Alt + F2 will give you what is called a "Hard Space". (DBT Layout menu: Character Codes: Hard Space) George. From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eyþór Þrastarson Sent: 28 June 2012 13:10 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
