First, if you haven't already, you need to turn on the unicode
keypad. It's turned off in Windows by default. Use regedit to find
the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method". Right-click
on it, choose New and then String to create a new string called
"EnableHexNumpad" with a value of "1". (Don't type the quotes.)
REBOOT. Don't forget to reboot!<br>
<br>
Now, you will be able to type unicode characters by holding down the
left-alt key and simultaneously pressing the plus sign on the
keypad, and then (while still holding down the left-alt key) enter
the unicode character. Then release the left-alt key. (Note that
the right-alt key does not work for this.)<br>
<br>
So, for your example you would hold down your Left-Alt key, and then
(simultaneously) on the numeric pad:<br>
press + <br>
press 2<br>
press 0<br>
press 0<br>
press 8<br>
and then release the Alt key. Some Unicode characters have the hex
letters a to f in them. Simply enter them from the main keyboard
(while still holding down the Left-Alt key).<br>
<br>
PLEASE NOTE that the punctuation space that you want to enter will
ONLY appear if the font you are using contains it as a defined
character. (Most fonts do not.) <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Now a new question: I thought there was a
way to insert a space that’s the width of punctuation, such as
a period or comma (similar to Esc spacebar m for em space, Esc
spacebar t for thin space, etc.). I found the Unicode for it
is x2008. I’ve tried (and had other people) try this, holding
down Alt and typing 2008 on the numeric keypad. We get a
character that looks like a long equal sign with a vertical
line through it.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know how to create a
punctuation space in FrameMaker?<o:p></o:p></p>
