BTW, the character can be created in a variable as \u2008. I just can't figure out any way to create it outside of a variable.

I believe those are the only "special" spaces available, though, so if thin space isn't what you want, you might try numeric. I don't recall ever seeing one that was "the width of punctuation", and I doubt if there is one, since how much space a mark of punctuation takes up depends on the mark in proportional spacing. For example, a "?" will take up more room than a "!". If thin space isn't what you want, try the numeric. Beyond that, I got nothing. :) On Mon, Jul 1, 2013 at 1:55 PM, Lin Sims <ljsims...@gmail.com<mailto:ljsims...@gmail.com>> wrote: Number space: Esc+<space>+1 Em space: Esc+<space>+m En space: Esc+<space>+n Thin space: Esc+<space>+t You probably want thin space.

Now a new question: I thought there was a way to insert a space that's the width of punctuation, such as a period or comma (similar to Esc spacebar m for em space, Esc spacebar t for thin space, etc.). I found the Unicode for it is x2008. I've tried (and had other people) try this, holding down Alt and typing 2008 on the numeric keypad. We get a character that looks like a long equal sign with a vertical line through it. Does anyone know how to create a punctuation space in FrameMaker? As always, you guys will almost certainly have the answer! Thanks.
