Is it possible to add a leading or trailing space in a rich text field? For example:

"<div style=\"background-color:#9d2cd1;Font-Size:14px;text-align:center;Color:Black\"><b>Text Here</b></div>" &
"<div style=\"background-color:#9d2cd1;Font-Size:14px;text-align:center;Color:Black\"><b>Longer Text Here</b></div>"

This shows both words, each on its own line centered with different background colors (I am making a color key). But the longer text stretches the width of the field. What I would like is something like:

"<div style=\"background-color:#9d2cd1;Font-Size:14px;text-align:center;Color:Black\"><b>Text Here</b></div>" &
"<div style=\"background-color:#6ca672;Font-Size:14px;text-align:center;Color:Black\"><b>   Longer Text Here   </b></div>"

Notice the spaces in front of and at the end of 'longer text here'. Those spaces do not work. Is there a syntax to have leading and trailing spaces?

That is the code for a non break space in Rich Text

So if you want 10 of them, put these inside the quotes

You can also change the style css and set the width of the resulting shape like this:

"<div style='width:100px;background-color:#9d2cd1;Font-Size:14px;text-align:center;Color:Black'><b>Text Here</b></div>"​


This will resolve your leading/trailing spaces issue and give you the additional benefit of keeping all of your images the same width.
