Thank you, David. I prefer the keyboard to the pointy thing so
C-S-space
will work for me. While I tried C-space I didn't think of adding another
modifying key.
Well, this does give you a space, but it doesn't conform to typesetting
conventions,
because the text is treated as a bunch of variables. You can enter
math-text mode by
hitting Ctrl-M, then type normally. The font choices are also availalbe

or, if you
prefer, \textnormal.
