Scott-- That's odd, because it seems to me that this has come up several times in this forum, and I know that all of the idSpecialCharacters enumerations are listed in the Scripting Guide. But I've also noted that it's often easier to use Unicode strings, rather than idSpecialCharacters, as you can combine Unicode strings with other characters to set the TextContents of more than a single character at a time (which is what you're limited to if you use idSpecialCharacters). In this case, you want "<002D>" (for the non-breaking hyphen) and "<00A0>" (for the non-breaking space). How do you mean "_outside_of VB"? If you want to use these enums/constants from VBScript, use the decimal value you can see in the VB object browser. Again, I think the Unicode strings work better. Thanks, Ole
