Here's one way: Select the character to the left of the one you want to move.
Right-click it and select Font. Click the Character Spacing tab. In the Spacing
dropdowns, set Expanded and 3 pt (or as much as you want to move the next
character to the right) or set it to Condensed and 3 pt to move the next
character to the left.

Another way is to use the Advance field. With the cursor just to the left of the
character you want to move, go to Insert > Field and select Advance from the
list. Check one of the boxes for "Offset text left" or "Offset text right" and
put the measurement in the box to its right. Click OK.

Jay has suggested some approaches, but it might be better if we knew why you
were trying to do this, as there's likely a better way to accomplish what
you're after. For example, if you're trying to align text on several lines,
you may need to use a tab stop.
