Last updated 6/15/2014
This is a space that is based on a full-width character in Asian languages. It wraps to the next line as with other full-
width characters.
Em Space
Equal in width to the size of the type. In 12-point type, an em space is 12 points wide.
En Space
One-half the width of an em space.
Nonbreaking Space
The same flexible width as pressing the spacebar, but it prevents the line from being broken at the space character.
Nonbreaking Space (Fixed Width)
A fixed width space prevents the line from being broken at the space character, but does not expand or compress in
justified text. The fixed width space is identical to the Nonbreaking Space character inserted in InCopy CS2.
Third Space
One-third the width of an em space.
Quarter Space
One-fourth the width of an em space.
Sixth Space
One-sixth the width of an em space.
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
Change Justification settings.)
Hair Space
One-twenty-fourth the width of an em space.
Thin Space
One-eighth the width of an em space. You may want to use a thin space on either side of an em dash or en dash.
Figure Space
Same width as a number in the typeface. Use a figure space to help align numbers in financial tables.
Punctuation Space
Same width as an exclamation point, period, or colon in the typeface.
