Hi,

The code below works except for the ^s character. How to insert hard space in text?

Thanks for your help.

Set myID = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0")
  Set mySelection=MyID.Selection.Item(1)
  Select Case TypeName(MySelection)
          Case "Text","Character",
  "Word", "TextStyleRange", "TextLine", "Paragraph"
          MySelection.TextContents="�^s"
  & MySelection.TextContents & "^s�"
  Case Else
          MsgBox "Choisissez du texte,
  s.v.p."
  End Select
