In HTML markup it means "non-breaking space". Its a space you use which is not a valid place for automatic hyphenation. An example is when writing numbers.
If you write $1 000 000, it is wise to use the nbsp between the groups of figures, or you could find your number broken with a hyphen at the end of a line.

What are the preparatory steps before typing?
Here are some of the key things to keep in mind with respect to typing posture and hand position:
- keep the backs of your hands parallel to the keyboard.
- have your arms oriented so that you are able to keep your index, middle and ring fingers on their home keys (see Lesson 1), and have both pinky fingers reach the shift keys without bending your wrist sideways.
- sit up as straight as possible (within reason!).
- have the top of the monitor at eye level.
- hands should be slightly lower than elbows (keeps the blood flowing to the hands!).
- keep your wrists straight, so that the tendons in your wrist are unencumbered through the carpal tunnel.
- take frequent breaks! get up and walk around, or sit under a tree or something.

Is it better to write in cursive or in print?
It depends on what you're personally comfortable with AND whether or not you think others will be able to read it (if it is meant for others to do so). I personally write with a combination of boths cursive and print. It seems weird, but it is still clearly written and readable. With technology on the rise, it seems that the art of cursive (or handwriting, or just writing period) seems to going out the door.
What character spacing setting inserts more space between characters?
I am not sure if you meant Unicode characters. If so,
] [ En space,

You can use {word-spacing:10px} to have more space between words and
{letter-spacing:10px} to have more space between letters.

What does pressing f12 on a computer do?
One of the biggest differences between a typewriter keyboard and the computer Answers.com is the row of keys at the top of the keyboard that are labeled F1 through F12. Commonly referred to as Function Keys, these keys were frequently used in the good old days of DOS programs. In today's Windows world of computers, you can probably use your computer without ever using one of these keys. Yet, these function keys provide some interesting shortcuts for common computer functions that can be useful tools in everyday computing. The function keys are frequently used in combination with other keys such as the CTRL key, the ALT key, and the Shift key. This results in a plethora of possible keyboard shortcuts.
Here is a brief rundown of the function key and what they can do for you.
F1
As a throwback to DOS days, you will find that the F1 key will often bring up a help menu. If you press F1 while working in a program, help for that program will usually appear. If you press F1 while at the Windows desktop or when the Answers.com is open, a Windows help screen will pop up. If you happen to be working in a program and would like to see the Windows help screen, simply press the Windows key (the key with the Windows logo on the bottom row of keys) on your keyboard and press F1 at the same time.
F2
You can use the F2 key to rename an item when working in Windows. Highlight any folder or file, and press F2. You will then be able to type a new name for the object. After you type the new name, just click outside the name box or press the enter key to make the name change. This works just like right-clicking a file or folder and selecting Rename.
F3
When you are working in Windows, the F3 key will open the Find Files window.
F4
The F4 key has some very useful functionality. You can press F4 to open the Address bar when working in Internet Explorer. This will allow you to type the address of a Answers.com for quick access.
You can also press the Alt key and the F4 key at the same time to close the open Window that you are currently working on.
F5
The F5 key is the refresh key. You can press F5 when viewing a Web page to make sure that you have the most current version of that Web page. You can also use F5 when in Windows to refresh the screen. This can be a handy shortcut. If perhaps you are viewing the contents of a CD and you remove that CD and insert another CD, your screen will still show the contents of the CD. Just press F5 to refresh the screen and see the contents of the CDyou just inserted.
F6
This key is often used to move the cursor around the structure of the program. Pressing it will often cycle you from window to window. In Internet Explorer and Firefox, pressing F6 moves the cursor to the address bar.
F7
The F7 key does not have any functionality in Windows. It may, however be used in some individual programs. To find out if it is available in the program you are using, bring up the program's help screen and type in the words function key.
F8
The F8 key can be used to access Safe Mode if pressed during the computer's boot up process. This is a trouble-shooting mode which will start the computer with minimal drivers.
F9
The F9 key does not have any functionality in Windows. It may, however be used in some individual programs. To find out if it is available in the program you are using, bring up the program's help screen and type in the words function key.
F10
F10 is the key that is used to activate the menu bar in many programs. You can use F10 to highlight the first menu choice, and then use the arrow keys to move around the menus. Pressing the Shift key while pressing F10 will bring up the shortcut menu. This is similar to right-clicking on an object.
F11
Press F11 when you are working in Answers.com and many other programs, and the window will open to full screen mode. This will make all the toolbars disappear and can be useful to see more information on the screen. Press F11 when you are in full screen mode will toggle you back to your normal view.
F12
The F12 key does not have any functionality in Windows. It may, however be used in some individual programs. To find out if it is available in the program you are using, bring up the program's help screen and type in the words function key.
As you can see, the Function keys can be extremely useful. Remember that since the functionality can differ from program to program, it is often good to look in the help menu of the program that you are using to find a list of the function keys and their uses. then you can jot down or memorize the ones you will use.
