WD97: How to Find Help for Creating Non-Breaking Spaces (165409)

MORE INFORMATION

A non-breaking space is used to prevent a line break between two words you want to keep together. For example, if you want to keep a date, such as May 20, 1997 from breaking incorrectly when you reach the end of a line of text, add a non-breaking space between the month and day and between the day and year. To insert a non-breaking space at the insertion point, press CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR.
