Spacing with fixed space fonts

[Guest]

Using RoboHelp for Word 6, Build 099 for a large Help project. We are converting from WinHelp to HTML Help. One topic consists of a large block of text (lots of columns in a fixed space font - Courier New) with popups annotating the text.

With WinHelp the vertical allignment is fine. When the HTML Help is compiled, multiple spaces appear to be compressed to a single space making the output unreadable.

For example we get :

| Data File Version ---> 11.7 |
| Serial Number: 42-xxx-0000 |
| XP Software (Evaluation) |
*===============================================*

Multiple spaces are need to make the right end of the boxes line up. Columns with numbers are worse.

Is there any way to compile forcing the multiple spaces to remain?

TEB008 -

In Word, highlight the topic, and do a Word search-n-replace of spaces with no-break spaces. You'll see those options in the s-n-r box when you click the MORE button.
