Actually an en space is the width of a capital N and usually about two
normal spaces. An em space (width of a capital M) is usually about three.

How about using En Spaces that can be inserted via the InsertSymbol
dialog
and selecting the Special Characters tab.

Unfortunately they seem larger than what I was hoping for. En space
looks like it equals 3 traditional spaces and em space equals 5. Is
there an advantage for using an em or en space over 3 or 5 traditional
ones?

If you insert one, and then select it and use Ctrl+C to copy it to the
clipboard, then use EditReplace and put an ordinary space (spacebar)
into
the Find what control and then move to the Replace with control and
press
Ctrl+V, the En Space will be pasted into that control and when you use
Replace All, all of the spaces will be replaced with En Spaces.

I already use find/replace to change a single space into two, so I'm
onboard with that. What I want to create is more like a 1.5 space
because I want to emphasize, but not exaggerate, the spacing between
words.
