When typing a figure with a leading minus e.g -0.999 , how do you get word to
recogonise this as an entire figure and not word wrap for example - will
remain at the end of the line and 0.999 will be used to start the next line
below.


Thanks

Use a non-breaking hyphen Ctl+-

Insert a minus sign via the Symbol dialog box (Insert | Symbol in Word 2003;
Insert tab | Symbol | More Symbols in Word 2007): Set the "Font" to "(normal
text)." Make sure that the dialog box displays Unicode characters, and
choose "Mathematical Operators" in the "Subset" box; then you'll find the
minus sign easily.
