If I'm trying to access a file using gedit, how can I reach this file if there are spaces in the name? Right now typing the file name creates separate files, one for each word in the name

Surround the filename with double-quote ("
) characters. For example:
gedit "my resume"
Either surround it with quotes as Fran suggested or use a backslash to escape spaces in filenames and directories:
$ gedit /path\ to/text\ file.txt
# opens /path to/text file.txt
