If you need a fixed-width non-breaking space, you can use the Narrow No-Break Space (202F, Alt-X). You could create a macro with a keyboard shortcut for this (IIRC, Ctrl-Alt-Space is normally free).

One not-so-obvious difference is that the Narrow No-Break Space appears as a space without the · or º that appears for other spaces when the formatting display is turned on.
Thank you very much for your reply. I tried to do so, and now it is working! (I simply assigned the code 202F to the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Alt-Space, since I need not nbsp that is not fixed in width).
