First the good news in OpenOffice you can use many different spaces by Inserting Special Characters for example U+2004 (scroll 4/5 down to the bottom) is probably what the user wants.

The bad news is that I couldn't get AutoCorrect to accept this, but Find and Replace works fine.

In the professional printing industry they use _en_ and _em_ spaces see below:

 * An em space is the same width as the point size of the font you use.
   For example, if you use a 10-point font, an em space is 10 points wide.
 * An en space is half the width of an em space.
 * A numeric space is the same width as the font's zero (0) character.
   All digits are typically the same width. This space is useful for
   aligning numbers in a column without using tabs.
 * A thin space is one-twelfth the width of an em space. A thin space
   is often used when a very small space is needed to separate two
   characters--for example, between a number and the unit of measure
   that follows it, or between characters that appear too close
   together--for example, /).
 * A nonbreaking space is the same width as the default space width for
   the font.

Apart from this I found the following spaces in the Windows Character Map:

 *   en Quad U+2000
 *   em Quad U+2001
 *   en Space U+2002
 *   em Space U+2003
 *   Three-Per-Em Space U+2004
 *   Four-Per-EM Space U+2005
 *   Six-Per-Em Space U+2006
 * etc

First the good news in OpenOffice you can use most of these spaces by Inserting Special Characters for example U+2004 is probably what the user wants.

You can edit spacing between letters (kerning) but I've never seen the ability to edit spacing between words with either OpenOffice or the other Word document program. Nor could I find anything when I searched.

Is this something you've ever done in another program? If you have what program, and how was it accomplished?
Understanding that may help with this.

   My question is:
Is there an option for automatic arrangement of the words of the normal
      distance of each other? That's the last consultation.
