Hi Joe,
Okay, dujb question but, if you aren't using hard returns why are you
wanting to add spaces at the start of a line? I did try to do this and
also
can not add a blank space at the start of a line. I wrote a paragraph's
worth of stuff then tried adding spaces to the start of the last line. I
don't know if it's a hardware issue or just a question of margins.
For example, I'm in outlook express now and typed the above and then
tried
to add a space at the start of one of the lines, and it wouldn't work in
oe
either. It seems and I very well could be wrong because technical stuff
is
definitely not my thing but it seems to me that spaces aren't really
considered characters unless they are proceeded and followed by
characters
and or hard returns. So using the bsp I added 80 odd spaces to what was
supposed to be the start of a line, instead they were added to the end
of
the previous line. This probably doesn't make much sense. Perhaps if you
could explain a little what or why you need to do this we could figure
it
out. It's intriguing anyway.
Sorry not to be of more help.
Tessa

Hi, Tessa,
I never use a hard return in a document unless it's the start of a new
paragraph.
I usually proof in ASCII but as per your suggestion, I changed from
ASCII to
Drade 2 with the same results. I could add a space at the start of a
line.
Today when I started writing, I loaded my document and I could add a
space
with no problem. I went to any line and was able to add a space. I
also
found that, after I was writing for a while, it was no longer possible
to
add a space at the beginning of a line.
I cannot account for this. It's great when I can reproduce an error,
but I
can't do it.
Maybe this will suggest a curefor this problem. I can add a letter at
the
start of a line, which makes this a strange problem.
