"Hard" space; "hard" hyphen Libby 12/13/2008 8:58:09 PM I know this is probably a dumb question, but I absolutely cannot find out how to create what I know as a "hard" space or a "hard" hyphen. This is when you want text within a paragraph kept together and wrapped to the next line. i.e., Mr. Smith: I don't want Mr. at the end of one line and Smith on the next line; and i.e., a phone number 999-888-8888. I don't want any of the numbers on different lines. i.e., 999- at the end of one line and 888-8888 on the following line. I have searched Help for every option I can think of to no avail. -- Thank you, Libby

Re: "Hard" space; "hard" hyphen grammatim <grammatim[ at ]verizon.net> 12/13/2008 9:26:54 PM I wouldn't have any great hopes for finding them in Help, but what you're looking for is called "non-breaking space" and "non-breaking hyphen" -- typed as Greg indicated.
