Spaces between don't show up until next word is typed I am writing a document in Word on a SurfacePro 2 and all of a sudden it doesn't seem to be recognizing the spacebar. I type as usual, with a space after each word, but the space doesn't APPEAR after the word until the next word is typed. Outer space, especially the relatively empty regions of the universe outside the atmospheres of celestial bodies; Vacuum, a volume of space that is essentially empty of matter, such that its gaseous pressure is much less than atmospheric pressure; Free space, a perfect vacuum as expressed in the classical physics model; Vacuum state, a perfect vacuum based on the quantum mechanical model.
Commands manipulating horizontal and vertical spaces, and holding material in boxes:- vspace{length}. vspace*{length} leave out given vertical space
- smallskip, medskip, bigskip leave out certain spaces
- addvspace{length} extend the vertical space until it reaches length.
- vfill strech vertical space so that it fills all empty space
- hspace{length}, hpace*{length} leave out given horizontal space
- hfill, hrulefill, dotfill fill out all available horizontal space with a line or with dots
- rule{width}{thickness} draw a line
- makebox{text}, mbox{text} enclose text into a box and then print, can be used in math mode.
- framebox{text}, fbox{text} enclose text into a framed box and then print.
- parbox{width}{text} insert several paragraphs into a box of given width
- raisebox{dist}{text} raise or lower (if dist is negative) the box created from text.
- newsavebox{boxname} define the holder boxname to store a box.
- savebox{boxname}{text}, sbox{boxname}{text} save text int the holder boxname
- usebox{boxname} use material stored in box holder boxname
vspace
The vspace command adds vertical space. The length of the space can be expressed in any terms that LaTeX understands, i.e., points, inches, etc. You can add negative as well as positive space with an vspace command.LaTeX removes vertical space that comes at the end of a page. If you don't want LaTeX to remove this space, include the optional * argument. Then the space is never removed.
smallskip, medskip, bigskip
The smallskip command is equivalent to vspace{smallskipamount} where smallskipamount is determined by the document style.The medskip command is equivalent to vspace{medskipamount} where medskipamount is determined by the document style.
The bigskip command is equivalent to vspace{bigskipamount} where bigskipamount is determined by the document style.
addvspace
The addvspace command normally adds a vertical space of height length. However, if vertical space has already been added to the same point in the output by a previous addvspace command, then this command will not add more space than needed to make the natural length of the total vertical space equal to length.vfill
The vfill fill command produces a rubber length which can stretch or shrink vertically.hspace
The hspace command adds horizontal space. The length of the space can be expressed in any terms that LaTeX understands, i.e., points, inches, etc. You can add negative as well as positive space with an hspace command. Adding negative space is like backspacing.LaTeX removes horizontal space that comes at the end of a line. If you don't want LaTeX to remove this space, include the optional * argument. Then the space is never removed.
hfill, hrulefill, dotfill
The hfill fill command produces a rubber length which can stretch or shrink horizontally. It will be filled with spaces.The hrulefill fill command produces a rubber length which can stretch or shrink horizontally. It will be filled with a horizontal rule.
The dotfill command produces a rubber length that produces dots instead of just spaces.
rule
The rule command is used to produce horizontal lines. The arguments are defined as follows.- raise-height: specifies how high to raise the rule (optional)
- width: specifies the length of the rule (mandatory)
- thickness: specifies the thickness of the rule (mandatory)
makebox, mbox
The makebox command creates a box to contain the text specified. The width of the box is specified by the optional width argument. The position of the text within the box is determined by the optional position argument.- c - centered (default)
- l - flushleft
- r - flushright
framebox, fbox
The framebox command is exactly the same as the makebox command, except that it puts a frame around the outside of the box that it creates.The framebox command produces a rule of thickness fboxrule, and leaves a space fboxsep between the rule and the contents of the box.
The fbox command is exactly the same as the mbox command, except that it puts a frame around the outside of the box that it creates.
parbox
A parbox is a box whose contents are created in paragraph mode. The parbox has two mandatory arguments:- width: specifies the width of the parbox; and
- text: the text that goes inside the parbox.
LaTeX will position a parbox so its center lines up with the center of the text line. An optional first argument, position, allows you to line up either the top or bottom line in the parbox. A parbox command is used for a parbox containing a small piece of text, with nothing fancy inside. In particular, you shouldn't use any of the paragraph-making environments inside a parbox argument. For larger pieces of text, including ones containing a paragraph-making environment, you should use a minipage environment.
raisebox
The raisebox command is used to raise or lower text. The first mandatory argument specifies how high the text is to be raised (or lowered if it is a negative amount). The text itself is processed in LR mode.Sometimes it's useful to make LaTeX think something has a different size than it really does - or a different size than LaTeX would normally think it has. The raisebox command lets you tell LaTeX how tall it is.
The first optional argument, extend-above, makes LaTeX think that the text extends above the line by the amount specified. The second optional argument, extend-below, makes LaTeX think that the text extends below the line by the amount specified.
newsavebox
Declares cmd, which must be a command name starting with a , that is not already defined, to be a bin for saving boxes.savebox, sbox
These commands typeset text in a box just as for mbox or makebox. However, instead of printing the resulting box, they save it in bin cmd, which must have been declared with newsavebox.usebox
Prints the box most recently saved in bin cmd by a savebox command.Back to the main LaTeX page.

Empty characters
Empty characters, blank characters, invisible characters and whitespace characters. They look like a space, but are in fact a different (unicode) character. They can be used if you want to represent an empty space without using space. Let's say you want to use an empty value in a website or application, but spaces are not accepted. For this situation you can use one of the characters on this site. For example, sending an empty message, or setting a form value to blank. If the application filters out other unicode characters then the characters on this site might not work.

Sending an empty message in WhatsApp
WhatsApp does not allow to send a blank messages using spaces. To work around this problem, you can use the blank character on this page. It is seen as a character different than space, but it looks the same. You can use it to send a invisible message, or set your WhatsApp status to empty.
Method 1 - Copy with a button
Click the button below to copy an empty character to your clipboard.
If this doesn't work on your device, use method 2.
Method 2 - Copy manually
If the first method does not work for you, try this method. You can test if it works below.

You can use the Select button under the textarea, and then copy the selected text manually.
Test it
Paste the empty character in the textarea below to test it. If it works, then the grey text should disappear.
