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? |

How do I insert an en space in Word?
Do you want en space as the subject or en dash as the message?
The latter is CTRL + Minus on the numeric key pad. The former you can insert from Insert Symbol. There is no shortcut by default, but nothing stopping you from adding one. I would suggest an autocorrect for #n. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Guy Bullen wrote: I use Office 2003 and need to insert en dashes after Figure numbers.

See Insert/Symbol.../[Special characters]. The short cut is [Ctrl + Num-], where Num- is the dash on the numeric keyboard.

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).

How do I insert an en space in Word?
The CTRL + Minus worked! Thanks. I've tried the Word 2007 insturctions, i.e.,
Go to Proofing, Auto Correct Options, Auto Correct tab, and I checked "hyphen with en dash," but it hasn't produced an en dash. I just get two dashes.
