To insert white space characters
A white space character is a blank space that appears between characters. You can use white-space characters for
many different purposes, such as preventing two words from being broken at the end of a line.
1 Using the Type tool, position the insertion point where you want to insert a certain amount of white space.
2 Choose Type > Insert White Space, and then select one of the spacing options (such as Em Space). (See “White
space options” on page 156.)
Representative symbols of the white-space characters appear when you choose Type > Show Hidden Characters.
White space options
The following options appear on the Type > Insert White Space menu:
Em space Equal in width to the size of the type. In 12-point type, an em space is 12 points wide.

Flush space Adds a variable amount of space to the last line of a fully justified paragraph, useful for justifying text
in the last line. (See “To use a flush space with justified text” on page 235.)
Hair space One-twenty-fourth the width of an em space.
