Re: OpenOffice Word Spacing
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.

Is it possible that the OP is asking about making a table?
Is there anyone who understands Bulgarian that could communicate directly with the OP, something is being lost in translation.

Re: OpenOffice Word Spacing

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