Is there any way to view whitespace in the query editor for SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005?

SSMS (2005, I don't know about 2008) does not provide this functionality.

However, you could use a font that uses visible glyphs for spaces and tabs, like this: http://imgur.com/944LZ

I used a free font editor called Type Light to make a copy of an existing font, with a visible space glyph.

I know it's a hack, but where there's a will there's usually a way...
