its the browser bringing together all extra spaces to one single space. that's just what browsers do.
the non-breaking space that a browser will honor is & n b s p ; (spaces added here to prevent this browser from evaluating )

you can try replacing the spaces with &|nbsp;
you can use STRREP function

Is this a database field that contains the string or is this a compute or define? If it's a compute or define please show us the formula for it. What happens if you run the same report with FORMAT PDF or FORMAT WP? Do the spaces show?
