The most common are vacuum and continuum; the less common ones are menstruum, residuum, triduum, and the distinctly rare duumvir and duumvirate."

- Click on the Special Characters tab.
- Highlight the Non-breaking Space character.

What are the Limitations in a word processor module?
Word is a word processor, so it is designed for that particular kind of work. It can be used to do other things, even calculations like a spreadsheet, but you would use something like Excel to do that. It is not a desktop publisher, so it doesn't have the level of functionality for creating plush magazines etc., though the gap between what a word processor can do and what a desktop publisher can do, is not as great as it once was. So it depends on what it is that you want to do.
How do you change your pass word?
It depends on which password you mean. If it is your CMOS password, just take the battery out. If it is a Windows network password, use escape to go around it. If it is a Windows user password, log in as Administrator if you have to (no password if you never set one for it) and run a password recovery program or change the password for the user in question. If it is software, it depends on the program. If it is a website, then have them to reset it or send it to your email.
