> ``The word was `foo' '' [I'll call E style] style. Try using C-Shift-Space to create a thin space. The LyX is as follows:
\begin_body
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
The word was 'foo'\InsetSpace \thinspace{}
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
\end_layout
\end_body
Hoping this helps,
