I have tested both MS Word 97 and AbiWord, both but the space after the text 
(like the left part of the example picture.)

What is interesting is that MS Word 97 puts the space before when you give a 
value (like for example "exact 20pt".) As for AbiWord, it still put the space 
after the text in this case.

Have a nice day/evening/night!
