Yes, you can add a non-breaking en dash in Microsoft Word to avoid breaking the line at the en dash. Here's how:
- Place your cursor where you want to insert the en dash.
- Go to the "Insert" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
- Click on "Symbol" in the "Symbols" group.
- Select "More Symbols" at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
- In the "Symbol" dialog box, select "Arial Unicode MS" from the "Font" drop-down menu.
- Scroll down until you find the en dash symbol (€“) and select it.
- Click on the "Insert" button to insert the en dash into your document.
To make the en dash non-breaking, follow these steps:
- Highlight the en dash you just inserted.
- Go to the "Home" tab in the ribbon.
- Click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the "Font" group to open the "Font" dialog box.
- Check the box next to "Nonbreaking Space" under the "Character Spacing" section.
- Click on "OK" to close the dialog box.
Now your en dash should be non-breaking, meaning it will stay on the same line as the text before and after it.
