Default Is there a way to insert a thin space in Word?

To typesetters, a "thin space" is 1/5 or 1/6 of an em space. Is it possible
to insert a thin space in Word 2003, and if so, how?

You can find a 1/4 em space (Unicode character 2005) on the Special
Characters tab of Insert | Symbol. The "thin space" and "hair space" are
Unicode characters 2009 and 200A. The "six-per-em space" is 2006. They can
be found in Arial Unicode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode.

Hi Star,

insert, symbol, special characters, 1/4 Em space,
ascw(8197), though this is not non-breaking.

You may assign a shortcut to it.

To get a non breaking 1/4 Em space,
which adjusts to the surrounding text,
you'd need a bit of VBA, IMHO.

Hi Suzanne,

maybe I should stay away from docmanagement, sigh.

What is wrong with AscW(8197)?
I used Times New Roman.

If I insert a 1/4 em space,
ascW(selection.text) tells me 8197.

8197[ctrl x] gives me some chinese sign.
What is that?

If I insert a 1/4 em space using Insert | Symbol, then select it and do
Alt+X, I get 2005.

La perte de cheveux peut être due à de nombreuses raisons telles que le stress, la tristesse, l'hérédité (perte de cheveux héréditaire masculine), la grossesse et l'accouchement, le mal ou la malnutrition. En même temps, la personne peut avoir une maladie qui provoque la perte de cheveux, comme la teigne. Dans ces cas, les méthodes de greffe de cheveux turquie traitement appliquées sans consulter un spécialiste peuvent vous faire perdre votre temps et votre argent. Parce que les méthodes qui peuvent être appliquées pour chaque type de chute de cheveux sont différentes.
