Default How do I insert an en space in Word?

To add to what the others have said, en and em spaces and dashes are listed
on the Special Characters tab of Insert | Symbol. There's no built-in
keyboard shortcut for the spaces, but you can assign one. There is also a
"Figure Space" available in some large Unicode fonts (such as Arial Unicode
MS), but it sounds like what you want is the en dash rather than the space
(there's a Figure Dash at U2012). For more on all this, see

I use Office 2003 and need to insert en dashes after Figure numbers. But I
can't find this function in Word Help.
Does this function exist in Word 2003?
