Space between footnote reference and footnote text

[Joakim]

Hello,

Is there a way to change Word's behaviour so that a non-breaking space is
inserted after the footnote reference (between reference and footnote
description/text) instead of an ordinary space?

Since the footnote format we use is justified the space between footnote
reference and text sometimes varies (since word spaces in general varies with
justified text). We don't want that. We're ok with varied word spacing in
general, but don't want the space between the reference and the text to vary.
I suspect I need to rewrite Footnotes.Add somehow but I don't know how to do
it.

Thanks in advance,
Joakim Andersson

It seems as if you need a hanging indent for the Footnote Text
paragraph style.

To insert the tab character, you would have to use a macro,
though. See the relevant parts of the article at

No hanging indent needed, but the tab insertion part did the trick. For
anyone else needing this fix, here's the code I ended up using:

Sub InsertFootnote()

ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Add Range:=Selection.Range

With Selection
.Paragraphs(1).Range.Font.Reset
.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters(2) = ""
.InsertSymbol CharacterNumber:=160, Unicode:=True, Bias:=0
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
End With

End Sub
