So yes this may result in missing words, but unless Freedom Scientific implements such a feature, that's the only way I could think of for now. Hope that helps.

Open Dictionary Manager with insert d. 2. Press shift control d to open the default file. 3. Press enter on the add button. 4. In the actual word edit field, type blank, that's b l a n k 5. In the replacement word edit field, simply put a space. 6. Press enter to add it to the dictionary. 7. Close out of Dictionary Manager, answering yes to the prompt to save the file. Hope that helps.
