Thanks for that, Pat. I guess the space was put in to separate the 'l' for litres so it doesn't look like a figure 1. But when the script 'l' is used it's not so much of a problem. Even so, I have never seen a space between the numeral and the unit in normal practice.
Regards Mike ************Dear Mike, Check the Bureau International de Poids et Mesures website at www.bipm.fr There you will find the Metric Bible, the 'International System of Units' that can be downloaded freely in French or English. When you examine this you will find that in all cases there is a space between a number and a unit. For example, five metres is written as 5 m is symbol form.

There is no space (as in the ifp system) so it's 1200mm or 1 > 200mm, not 1200 mm.
