I am trying to convert to Word after decades of using WP. In WP, I use
the
"control space bar" key stroke to keep words, dates, etc. together. In
other
words, when the text is justified, in order to keep all characters
together
in a date, citing, etc., I will use the Ctrl SpaceBar or Ctrl Hyphen to
keep
the entire date, citing, etc. together on the same line. Example:
November
[ctrl space],[ctrl space]15,[ctrl space]2005 = November 15, 2005.

I am now working in Word 2002 and can not find this function or something
similar. There is the "fix broken text" option but it changes the font to
make the characters fit on one line.

Need your help! Thanks!
