Thanks for monospace font. But I still can't make a decent table because 2 or more spaces in a row [View all]

are compressed into one space. For example this table showing PCE inflation.

Month over month changes, % May Jun Jul Aug Sep
PCE 0.1 0.2 0.2 0.4 0.4
PCE, excluding food and energy 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.1 0.3


In Word I did a find and replace of space with backquote:

`````Month`over`month`changes,`%`````May``Jun``Jul``Aug``Sep
`````PCE`````````````````````````````0.1``0.2``0.2``0.4``0.4
`````PCE,`excluding`food`and`energy``0.3``0.2``0.2``0.1``0.3


It works, but the backquotes are annoying, they look like gnats one wants to put the spray can to.

I tried using #nbsp; in place of spaces (but where # is replaced by &), and it helped but still messed up.

Is there some other hack I can use? Thanks

Edit: desktop Windows 10 computer, 24" monitor, Edge browser, if that helps
