How do I add a space character to a Run or Text

Question

I tried:

Paragraph.AppendChild(new Run(new Text("Part 1")));
Paragraph.AppendChild(new Run(new Text(" ")));
Paragraph.AppendChild(new Run(new Text("Part 2")));

and the blank space does not get included into the document.  The following, by putting a space in front of the string, also does not work.

Paragraph.AppendCHild(new Run(new Text(" Part 2")));

How do I add a blank space?

Thanks.

You need to set the Text element's Space property to SpaceProcessingModeValues.Preserve:

para.AppendChild(new Run(new Text {
    Text = " ",
    Space = SpaceProcessingModeValues.Preserve }));
para.AppendChild(new Run(new Text {
    Text = " Spaces before and after ",
    Space = SpaceProcessingModeValues.Preserve }));
