Non-Significant Whitespace Rendering
RichEdit treats all whitespace characters as significant. It displays every space exactly as it appears in the text stream.
In Microsoft Word, the application discards leading, trailing, or consecutive spaces by default. Word only displays these spaces if the text run contains the xml:space="preserve" attribute. Because of this difference, text in RichEdit may occupy more horizontal space or include more padding than the same content in Word.
