Dreamweaver while he's gone (I'm using his PC). It's just a fun thing, not
gonna actually put it on the net or anything, but I will type a word, then
press space 4 or 5 times, and it only makes one actual space. For example,
I
want a distance of this much ( ) and I press the space bar
that
many times, but it still comes out to be ( ) no matter what. Any idea how
I can
fix this?

I mean in the code view.

Better use &nbsp;, but neither are a good idea, honestly.

Ctrl-space does the same, by the way.

This is just how html works. Maybe you should read up on html before going
on this web adventure. www.w3schools.com is a great place to start.

Spaces are not spaces in html. Only one single "space" is allowed, so to
speak. Therefore, if you type in a bunch of spaces in code view, only one
space will show up in design view. Using spaces (w/ the spacebar) is a very
very bad way to position things and shouldn't be done. Read DW's help files
about CSS and learn about margins and padding. This is how things should be
spaced.

That said, if you need an extra space somewhere (like in an empty cell or
something), then you do as Ben said and make a non-breaking space &nbsp; To
do this in design view, hit ctrl+shift+spacebar. But as I said, this is not
the way to position things w/ html.

Hi, there's no way you could fix this. Cos no matter how many spaced you type
in HTML, it would just take it as one space unless you use the <pre> tag.
However, if you are serious in getting those spaces in, you could go to the
code inspector to type in the html command "&nbsp;" without the quotes, where
one representing a space.

Well I'm using design mode, not code, and it can't log more than once space in a row.

Or press ctrl-space.
