Default Ctrl-Shift-Space Doesn't Work Any More

Idaho Word Man wrote:
I saw a posting on this subject recently, but now I can't find it.

A lady I work with recently installed a new scanner. Now,
Ctrl-Shift-Space opens the scanner application instead of giving her
a nonbreaking space.

She and I tried to customize her keyboard and reassign that key
combination to the nonbreaking space, but we couldn't find a command
for nonbreaking space under the Edit, Insert, or Format lists. We
tried to set her Autocorrect Options to change three spaces
(something she'd never use) to a nonbreaking space, but it wouldn't
ever activate the Add control with only spaces in the fields.

What's the workaround to get her nonbreaking spaces back again?

Thanks for the help.

You were so close... In the Customize Keyboard dialog, set the category to
Common Symbols (the last one in the list). The nonbreaking space is in
right-hand list, between the Registered symbol and the Paragraph symbol.
