Bidirectional layout and engkish phrases
Hi there,
For a bidirectional text (mixture of English and other languages in a paragraph), a phrase which is suppose to be laid out in one line, some times happens to be laid out on different lines (A phrase which is a combination of two or more words is divided to two or more different words and laid out on different lines of a paragraph). To prevent this from happening, Microsoft Word's Special character ( No-width Optional Break ) does the trick in farsi language, which holds the words tohether. However it seems it cannot hold the words together in an english phrase. What do you recommend for this case? |

Try using a hard space - Ctrl + Shift + spacebar. I hope this has been
helpful to you.

davoud,
What exactly are you trying to hold together? Can you give me an example? "davoud" wrote: Thanks for your message Carol, I did try it but no luck.

Well, for example "(Norton Antivirus 2004)" without qoutations. I want it to
be a phrase and if it is at the end of a line can move one line lower incase there is no enough space. "Carol" wrote: davoud, What exactly are you trying to hold together? Can you give me an example?

A nonbreaking space should accomplish this.

Are you sure you have *only* nonbreaking spaces and not some ordinary spaces
besides? I can't imagine why this would not work. -- Suzanne S.

Yes I am. It sometimes works depend on the place of the phrase in the
paragraph but sometimes doesnot. If for instance you have two phrases each one inside brackets, in english beside eachother seperated with a "farsi comma" some of the brackets "(" or ")" end up in a place that shouldn't be.
