Hello Mr. VanDyke,

you might try the following (although this is some kind of hack)

1. Define a variable in your structapps template (e.g. "hardspace") and give it the value "\ "(=the fm expression for a hard space)
2. in your R/W-Rules write:
entity "hardspace " is fm char XXX; (where XXX is the fm-number of the character; you should get this via the SYSTEC TOOLBOX-function "get encoding", which is a freeware function)
3. Whenever you want to insert a hard space insert the variable "hardspace".

I myself tried this with hard returns rather than hard spaces, but the method should be the same. After all, a "hard space" might be something that some application might not know, so it is an application specific character.

Hope this helps,
Franz.
