Thank you, Suzanne. I don't see those fonts on my system, so perhaps
it's not possible on a Mac – you'll see that I've already asked Robert
about that.

Please excuse my ignorance. I am fascinated by it, but it's all new
and cryptic to me.

As Robert indicates, the Unicode character set includes a thin space
(and
also a hair space), but Arial Unicode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode are
the
only fonts most users are likely to have that contain these characters
(at
U2009 and U200A, respectively)

If you're referring to a true typesetting thin space (1/8-em), the
straight
answer is No, not in Word.

The best you can get in Word is a 1/4-em - go to InsertSymbol, click
the
Special Characters tab & insert it from there. If you need to use it
with
any frequency you can assign a keystroke to it while you're there.

If you need anything tighter than that you'll have to select the 2
characters and use FormatFontCharacter Spacing - Spacing: to tighten
them
up by 10ths of a point. That will give you the effect you want, but it
is
still guesswork unless you measure out the type specs to determine
how
much
of an adjustment to make.

I need to be able to type a thin space in the expression '37 °C',
between the number and the degrees symbol. How do I achieve this in
Word? I've scoured Word Help to no avail, and I found no reference
to
it when I searched this forum.

Thank you.
