How do I keep a hyphenated word/number from breaking at the margin
I am typing a word document and I have a phone number that always breaks at
one of the hyphens. Isn't there a way to make sure the number will move to the next line rather than break at one the hyphens when it comes to the margin. I know that I can put in additional spaces before the number, but that would cause problems if you had to edit the paragraph. Has anyone found a way to fix this? |

You can insert one by clicking on: Insert Symbol Special Characters The non-breaking hyphen is the third from the top. The normal shortcut for this is control+_ (control-underscore). -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |
