Hyperlinks with spaces???

I need to know if there is a way to create a hyperlink with spaces, or do I need to change the address of my document to have no spaces. For example, I want to send an e-mail to employees to go to a document with an address of: \\server1\Policy Manual\Chapter 1 - Administration\1-17 Computers.wpd

Is this possible with spaces, or will I need to put underlines in my folder and document names?
 
preferred method would be not to use spaces. But, if you really need to use spaces, %20 can be used in the hyperlink to represent spaces if I recall correctly.
 
msie will automatically convert the spaces to %20
netscape (4.x) will not convert it, so you have to manually enter %20 in place of the spaces
i don't remember how mozilla deals with white spaces
and i have no idea about opera

preferably, you would not want to have spaces on your url
this is due to the fact that not all browsers render space in url correctly.
also, if you're sending email with the url, some email account will chop the url for you, resulting in wrong url
