non-breaking space: change in Outloook 2007; why?

P

Peter J. Veger

In a flow: web form --> mail message --> word document, a 'mail field' is
indentified by: field-name followed by ':' and nbsp (ChrW 160).
During generation of the mail message, an empty text field in the web form
generates one line with just those 3 items.
In Outlook, during generation of the word document in VBA, there is an
assignment: val = lines(linenumber).
For an empty text field, the last character of val used to be the nbsp, in
Outlook 2007 it is ':'.
Why the change, or is it a bug?
Why are spaces in general not left alone?
