Is there a way to create a “Hard Space” in Lotus Notes?
For example if I have a table with a label as shown:
Requester Phone #
+1 800 123-4567
and for whatever reason the table is resized (say printed) you get:
Requester Phone
+1 800 123-4567
I would like to put a hard space in between Phone and Number so when it prints we get this instead
Requester
Phone #
+1 800 123-4567
Thanks, I’m sure it’s either EASY or not possible.

when I view this posting via a web browser (IE7) I do not see any difference between table 2 and table 3

Oops, you would be correct… I will modify it so it looks like what I mean on the web.

As far as I know (and unfortunately, I know a lot about rich text), there is no support in Lotus Notes for hard spaces such as you describe. Sorry.

Well, it’s good to know I wasn’t missing something obvious. Thanks for the reply.

why not try it in MIMEEntry. maybe in that way, you can use css to control the style of the table!

Always willing to try something new, but I’m not a 100% to do what you’re suggesting. I’m guessing you using MIME either in a Rich Text Field? I’m not generating the table. If this is NOT what you mean, please explain a bit more.
We are using the Lotus Notes Client and I’ve got a tab table with subforms with tables in them.
In my case what I have is field followed by Phone # and in the cases the field have is too long for the cell I want Phone # to wrap as a unit instead of between Phone and number.
Clearly I could just place Phone # on a line by itself… OR
I could make it a part of the string and use some sort of fomula to say if the lenght is greater than X have a newline to get the same sort of effect.
I was just wondering if there was a simpler solution like Hard Space in a Word Processor.

Presuming you are on Windows, try using the old trick, and use the value 255.(i.e. Hold down the key, and press 2 5 5 on the numberic keypad)
Example : (This works if you are viewing this forum in the Notes Client. I don’t know if you’ll see a difference on the web.)
Normal space between the b’s and c’s:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbb cccccccccc
Using the 255 character between the b’s and c’s :
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbb cccccccccc

Thanks Graham, worked like a charm.
