prevent a line break between 2 words
"JD" <jdt_young[ at ]yahoo.com> 11/7/2008 11:46:29 PM
Hi,

I want to prevent a line break between 2 words. Is it possible? That is, I
want Word to treat the 2 words as a connected entity and make sure they are
always on the same line. I checked the document but didn't find any feature
I can use. This is a common feature in other word processors.

Thanks for any help.

JD

Use a non-breaking space, Ctrl+Shift+space.

Use Ctrl+Shift+Space to insert a non-breaking space between two words.

Replace the space character between the words with a nonbreaking space
(Ctrl+Shift+spacebar).
