I am using Frame version 6.0p405 on Windows NT 4.0. On several book files, I'm doing a "native" save as HTML, not using WebWorks publisher. 

Several of the files have examples of output from SQL reports, which have the correct number of spaces in between, and it shows up in columns as long as a monospaced font such as Courier is used for display. 

However, when I use the Save As HTML command, the resulting HTML file has only one space where five (or more) spaces used to be. 

Here's what I've tried so far: 
Change the HTML Reference table to code PRE instead of P for the Code style. Still makes just one space in between. 

Did a Find/Change for space and replaced with numeric space /s#, but still the HTML output has just one space instead of many. 

I'll paste in an example of the monospaced output using the PRE tag: 

 
Lvl  OWNER          TABLE_NAME                    GRANTEE            PRIVILEGE   
---- -------------- ----------------------------- ------------------ ----------  
Pub  ABMS           SPECIALTIES                   PUBLIC             SELECT      
Pub  DDW            CORP_TT                       PUBLIC             SELECT      
Pub  DDWMD          AGENTS                        PUBLIC             DELETE      




I looked for an answer to preserve spaces or preserve whitespace on this Forum and using Google's Groups search, but couldn't find an answer. Does anyone have any ideas? 

Thanks for your help, 
Anne
