This one took me a while :-) No matter what I did Home went to the beginning of the line and the space thereafter appeared there, whether Instant Text was on or not. And this makes sense because in Windows, Home is a direction key...

Discussing with Connie, we quickly found out that she had the WP 6.1 DOS keyboard selected. Switching to the WP 8 keyboard was the solution: Tools / Settings / Customize / Keyboards and selecting any of the Windows keyboards.

Having done this, Ctrl+Space is the WP shortcut to get a hard space and it appears as HSpace in the reveal codes.
