You will never find any hard spaces in any document by using that
method, as far as I know.

This is how I search for hard spaces in a file:

1.  Press <ALT+F3> to turn on Reveal Codes.

2.  Press <F6> to open the Search and Replace dialog box.

3.  Press the <F5> key to open the codes list.

4.  Press the apostrophe key.  This will highlight the hard space
code.

5.  Press <ENTER> to place the code into the Search for Edit Field.

6.  If more than one hard space exists in a file, for example, there
were several hard spaces in groups of 4 clustered together throughout
the file, steps 3, 4 and 5 would have to be performed 4 times in order
for each hard space to be placed into the Search For Edit Field.

7.  Press the <TAB> key to go to the Replace With Edit Field.  Now,
you can enter the replacement character or DBT code that will replace
a single hard space or multiple hard spaces.

8.  <TAB> to the OK button and complete the Search and Replace
function.

Sincerely:

Dave Durber
