Non-breaking minus sign
I have seen in some previous posts that character 2212 is a non-breaking
minus sign, but I can't get this to work. Are you supposed to type ALT+2212? When I do this all I get is a blank square (I tried using both Times New Roman and Arial). The minus sign from the numeric keypad is not non-breaking. I know how to insert a non-breaking hyphen, but I would rather have a minus sign instead. Thanks. |

Non-breaking minus sign
You should be able to get character 2212 in both Times New Roman and Arial,
but I doubt that Alt+2212 will insert it. Either use the Insert | Symbol dialog or type 2212 and press Alt+X. -- Suzanne S.

Or if you want to use Alt, you need to type Alt+8722 (the decimal equivalent
of hex 2212) -- Enjoy, Tony "Suzanne S. Barnhill" schreef in bericht ... You should be able to get character 2212 in both Times New Roman and Arial, but I doubt that Alt+2212 will insert it.
