big space

[Zoe Lawson]

How about using Ctrl+Alt+Space? I think two of those together equals an
em-space, kinda.

Or two non-breaking spaces next to each other.

Are you using a regularly spaced font like courier (blanking on the real
name)? It's a lot easier to see spaces then.

HTH,

Zoe

Subject: big space


Hi, guys...I'm in FM7 and I need to include a wider than normal space. The
context is a commnd line interface command line and both I and the
developers want to make the required spaces in the command line a little
wider so they aren't missed. 

The quick kludge I came up with was to create a character style called
"big-space" and make it the equiv of 18 pt, opposed to the 11 pt for a
normnal space.

My first choise wouldbe to have a space equiv to an M-dash, maybe called
M-space?

Is there such as puppy?  How have you guys addressed this? One way I know I
don't want to do it is to change a color. Also, we use smart spaces, so
putting two spaces together is not an option.
