Default Character Set 032 vs 160

What is the difference between Character Set 032 and 160. In Excel Help
they both say "[space]". Why 2 codes for space?

Thanks

Hi ......,
In Rich Text Format, the 160 would be called a Required Blank,
in HTML it is called a non-breaking space ( ). The difference
is that a line should not be broken on non-breaking space.

If you have non-breaking spaces after copying from HTML and want
to remove them from cells and then trim the cells see TRIMALL macro in
