Hi everyone,

How many inches is one character space in Times New Roman, 12 pt (no other special settings, just plain roman type)?

I'm being forced to make a hanging indent of "two spaces" in a table of contents, so that's why I'm asking.

I'm guessing around 0.18"? I tried 0.13" and was told it was incorrect but not by how much or in which direction. I've asked my document reviewer for feedback but in the meantime I'm curious if there is an exact answer.

Thank you!
