Thanks, I did not know these hard spaces and hard lines before. But actually I think I was searching something opposite, like "soft lines" which would be visible in the editor but not anymore in the final text. Buf this was just an idea I got to my mind while writing text. If it is against the fundamental ideas of Lyx, I can live without it. :-)
