Normally you would just type control-shift-space instead of a regular space,
as you type along.

After the fact, just highlight the space and then control-shift-space will
replace the selection (just as you might highlight freind and then type
friend to replace it).

If you click ¶ on the formatting toolbar, it will show you nonprinting
characters and you will be able to see that a space and a non-breaking space
look different.

Do you have to highlight the text you want to keep together and then do the
controlshift spacebar thing? I can't get this to work.
