Holding down the space key on the keyboard causes extra spaces to be inserted but not visible until you type another character. Is this what you are talking about? If so then you should not be using the space key to create white space in this way. It is a bad word processing technique to get into. If you come back later and edit one word before the white space in a paragraph it upsets the rest of the paragraph. On the top ruler are little marks like upside down 'T's. These indicate Tab points. By pressing the Tab key the "blinker" jumps to directly below the next one of these marks. Tabs are extra brilliant because you can set your own anywhere on this ruler between thte margns just by clicking there and this new custom tab spot overwrite these default upside down T points. Not only that but you have minute control (hundredths of a centimetre) in your placement of these tabs. For more go to help and type in tab.
