How do I bind a minus sign to a number to remain on same line?
I want to bind a minus sign to a number so that the entire construct remains
on the same line and not split between two lines (e.g., -21% on same line versus - on one line and 21% on next line). Thanks, Drew Baughman |

You use a Non-Breaking-Hyphen. Press Ctrl+Shft+Hyphen to create.

How do I bind a minus sign to a number to remain on same line?
Strictly speaking, Ctrl+Shift+Hyphen defines an open xml noBreakHypen
element which only exists in Word. This is neither a non-breaking hyphen nor a non-breaking minus sign. There does exist a real non-breaking hyphen (U+2011) and a minus sign (U+2212). You should try displaying the three symbols next to each other on a line in Word to see the difference. Yves "DeanH" wrote in message ... You use a Non-Breaking-Hyphen.

How do I bind a minus sign to a number to remain on same line?
Hyphen isn't acceptable as a minus sign (en-dash, which is Ctrl-minus
on the keypad, is) -- but Suzanne has discovered (and I confirmed) that the minus sign identified by Yves _is_ a non-breaking minus. Type 2212 on the regular keyboard and press Alt-X. If you're going to use it a lot, open Insert Symbol (if the character is selected, Insert Symbol will open right to it) and assign a keyboard shortcut (button left of middle on the bottom of the Insert Symbol panel).

How do I bind a minus sign to a number to remain on same line?
Hi Yves and Peter, many thanks for you comments, and yes I have never really
been happy with the Ctrl+Shift+Hyphen. The U+2212 works well and is non-breaking as you say, but I tend not to use minus signs that much in my work. Nnon-breaking hypens I do, unfortunately the U+2011 does not bring up the hyphen but a square box. Checking my Symbol listing and 2011 is not in the General Punctuation listing, going from 200F (Right to Left Mark) to 2013 (En Dash). Any ideas? DeanH "Peter T. Daniels" wrote: Hyphen isn't acceptable as a minus sign (en-dash, which is Ctrl-minus on the keypad, is) -- but Suzanne has discovered (and I confirmed) that the minus sign identified by Yves _is_ a non-breaking minus.

How do I bind a minus sign to a number to remain on same line?
Are you using a font from a less than reputable source? Have you tried
the standard fonts? When you have typed Ctrl-Shift-Hyphen and Show Non-Printing Characters, do you see an en-dash? (Similarly, the optional hyphen used for forcing a word to break at only a specific point, Ctrl- Hyphen, shows up as logical-not sign.)

How do I bind a minus sign to a number to remain on same line?
Hi Peter. All the fonts are standard MS issue, the only addition is a corporate font based on Helvetica. The fonts I have tried in the symbol listing include Arial, TNR, Helvetica, and the corporate font, as well as (normal text) and the option for 2011, Alt+X does not appear. I tend to work with Non-printing Characters always showing and the Ctrl+Shift+Hyphen does look like an En Dash, only a little thinner if viewed at high zoom (200%). Correct the optional hyphenation sign is the NOT sign (00AC or Shft+`). DeanH "Peter T. Daniels" wrote: Are you using a font from a less than reputable source? Have you tried the standard fonts?

How do I bind a minus sign to a number to remain on same line?
I take no position on the special nonbreaking hyphen character at
2011. Didn't Word have such a thing before Unicode was invented, so it would still use its old technique rather than try to accommodate the new invention? Selecting a nonbreaking hyphen inserted the traditional way yields no code at all with Alt-X, showing that it is indeed a Word artifact and not a special character. (Likewise for soft hyphen.)

How do I bind a minus sign to a number to remain on same line?
It will depend on the available fonts and their version.
I noticed on Word 2007, when I use the default font (Calibri) and type 2011, ALT+X, my font gets automatically switched to MS Gothic. I'm guessing this is the work of uniscribe behind the curtains, but I can't say for sure. On my system, the following fonts seem to support U+2011: Arial Unicode MS Lucida Sans Unicode Meiryo MS Gothic MS Mincho MS PGothic MS PMincho MS UI Gothic Palatino Linotype According to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/he...872311033.aspx you should have at least 2 of these, but they might be the wrong versions: Arial Unicode MS Palatino Linotype Yves "DeanH" wrote in message ...

How do I bind a minus sign to a number to remain on same line?
Yves, many thanks. I have found the non-breaking hyphen 2011 character under
Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode and Palatino Linotype. Thanks again, all the best. DeanH "Yves Dhondt" wrote: It will depend on the available fonts and their version. I noticed on Word 2007, when I use the default font (Calibri) and type 2011, ALT+X, my font gets automatically switched to MS Gothic. I'm guessing this is the work of uniscribe behind the curtains, but I can't say for sure. On my system, the following fonts seem to support U+2011: Arial Unicode MS Lucida Sans Unicode Meiryo MS Gothic MS Mincho MS PGothic MS PMincho MS UI Gothic Palatino Linotype According to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/he...872311033.aspx you should have at least 2 of these, but they might be the wrong versions: Arial Unicode MS Palatino Linotype Yves "DeanH" wrote in message ... Yves, thanks for the response. As you can probably see from the other postings, I cannot find U+2011 in the symbols listing. I am on 2003/XP does this affect the listing? DeanH "Yves Dhondt" wrote: Strictly speaking, Ctrl+Shift+Hyphen defines an open xml noBreakHypen element which only exists in Word. This is neither a non-breaking hyphen nor a non-breaking minus sign. There does exist a real non-breaking hyphen (U+2011) and a minus sign (U+2212). You should try displaying the three symbols next to each other on a line in Word to see the difference. Yves "DeanH" wrote in message ... You use a Non-Breaking-Hyphen. Press Ctrl+Shft+Hyphen to create. Hope this helps DeanH "baugd" wrote: I want to bind a minus sign to a number so that the entire construct remains on the same line and not split between two lines (e.g., -21% on same line versus - on one line and 21% on next line).
