Thanks.. but I've tried that and it only moved it over one space... back to square one

@jorlauski, remembering my old days of HTML use, I tried this and saw that it worked on the Markdown interface. Just use this (but without spaces, it won't show here if I type it as it should be written):
& n b s p ;
So just remove the spaces between that code, and use as many of them as for the amount of space characters you want in between your words!

Thanks, but sometimes out of nowhere, a word in a paragraph will start on a new line in Steemit posts. Do you know how to stop this happening? Its happening on my post about the Games Industry, but seems to disapear if you make your page width smaller.

The Steemit layout may not allow it.
