Hahaa thats pretty funny. You can use an underscore ( I_think_thats_what_its_called) or a dash. Might be a pain in the ass but it should do until u get a new keyboard or fix it.

You could hold down the "Alt" key and type "032" on the number pad for every space. This line was spaced that way.

Personally, I'd run out and get a new keyboard.

That's how I type strange characters in this forum. A few are:

Alt + 0162 = ¢
Alt + 0163 = £ (American keyboards)
Alt + 0165 = ¥
Alt + 0167 = §
Alt + 0169 = ©
Alt + 0174 = ®
Alt + 0176 = °
Alt + 0177 = ±
Alt + 0182 = ¶
Alt + 0188 = ¼
Alt + 0189 = ½
Alt + 0190 = ¾
Alt + 0215 = ×
Alt + 0247 = ÷

Characters between 0192 and 0255 (with a few exceptions) are accented characters used in European languages, such as the "ñ" in "señor".

But then I, like the characters, am definitely non-standard.

It's even easier in Word. Most of the accented characters are controlled by the Ctrl key.

For example, the "ñ" in "señor" looks like a tilde "~" over an "n" , so "señor" would be typed as "s" "e" Ctrl-Shift-"~" "n" "o" "r".

Simialrly, the "ë" in the French word "noël" looks like a sideways colon ":" over an "e", and would be typed as "n" "o" Ctrl-Shift-":" "e" "l".

With tricks like these, you can type en français whenever you like, even when on a straße in Berlin discussing the theories of Ångström with a lovely señorita.
