How do I how to insert spaces between words in latex, not new lines or indentation, I mean just a regular space that one does with spacebar on a word editor. Couldn't find answer on web.

You're not really supposed to insert your own spaces. LaTeX takes care of the spacing of mathematical symbols automatically.

If you really do need to insert a space, try the symbol \,

The tilde, ~, works for this, and I believe that the ampersand, &, works as well. These are useful if you want text mixed in with your mathematical formulas.
