This is what I have eventually ended up doing.  Even still, it leaves 
some issues, but it works.  You also find out that the RTB is buggy.

One of many such interesting issues: -
  Create a form, and add a RichTextBox to it.

Put this code in: -

   RichTextBox.TextRTF = "A" & Chr$(160) & "B"  'Non-breaking space
   Debug.Print Asc(Mid(RichTextBox.Text, 2, 1))
   RichTextBox.TextRTF = RichTextBox.TextRTF
   Debug.Print Asc(Mid(RichTextBox.Text, 2, 1))

Have a guess what the two debug statements print out...

Fun, fun, fun...
