Non-breakable space to have same width as usual space
Could you be so kind to tell how to make non-breakable space to have same width as usual space in case of justification? I heard that it was completely impossible before word 2013 (right?), but is was fixed afterwards. This feature is the only reason why I'm trying to switch to word 2016, but I see the same thing here, spaces are different. How can I fix this? A lot of thanks beforehand.

I have not heard that this can be done in any version of Word.
The idea is to keep the text on either side of a non-breaking space on the same line. If you put a line break instead of a paragraph break at the end of line 3, though, with justification, extra space will appear between lines. You need to use hyphenation to help break long lines and decrease that space. The real problem is the length of your words. You could use distributed justification which puts spaces between letters rather than just words. You could put the document in Word 2010 compatibility mode and turn on the option to "Do full justification like Word Perfect 6.x for Windows." I do not know that this will help. I do not know if the Right-to-Left language controls of Low/Medium/High justification would do anything. (same link further down) You could add extra hard spaces to make it look similar but that is going to really make editing difficult. I will try the options I mention above on the document that is in my screenshot and see if any of them help. |

Same text - same document with two optional methods
Word 2010 compatibility mode - "Do full justification like Word Perfect 6.x for Windows." Justify High - surprising result

A non-breaking space has the effect of making it and the words either side of it act as a single word. It does not therefore behave as a standard space in any Word version.

Thanks guys! After all I have figured out that the only Word which really does what I need is Word 2013. And I checked, it really fits nbsp to spaces... almost. I'll study this and give some details if there is anything interesting.
