The LC field object has always(since LC 5 anyway) respected non-breaking spaces (ascii 160). But in pre LC v7 the word chunk does not recognize non-breaking spaces.
LC pre v7 (put word 1 of "abc"&numtochar(160)&"def") yields "abc def" LC 7.06 (put word 1 of "abc"&numtochar(160)&"def") yields "abc" Just another reason to let go of LC 6 completely. But just like my keyboard, I find it hard to let go.

I have fields in which I need non-breaking spaces. I've found that a bunch of spaces can be omitted in rendering if they occur at the beginning of a line. (these are fixed fields, with another field holding a value). Is there a way without setting html text to do this? thanks -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
