To find out what the character is, place the cursor to the right of the
character and press ALT+x. The character should change into a character code.
Jot it down. Go to the symbols tab of the symbols dialog, choose the font
that the character is in (in the document) or choose Arial Unicode, Cambria
Math, or Gentium, and make sure that the box labeled "from:" says Unicode
(hex). Type the character code into the so-named box on the lower right.
Word should highlight the character and, near the lower left corner of the
dialog box, show the character's name. As Peter says, it's probably one to
the em-space characters.

To change the character code back into a character, press Alt-x again.

I just opened a Word 2003 document someone sent me and some of the spaces
are
wider than normal. I turned on 'Show All Formatting Marks' and they look
like
the character for a non-breaking space ( a little circle) but there is a
space after them and they don't hold words together. What are they?
