Default Suppress auto-hyphenation for a single word

In Word 2003, is it possible to suppress auto-hypenation for a single word?
The problem is that Word hyphenates it at the wrong place.

The word is Merleau-Ponty (the name of a French philosopher). Word hypenates
it so that it appears:

.... unlike the French philosopher Mer-
leau-Ponty ...

I'd prefer for it to appear this way:

.... unlike the French philosopher
Merleau-Ponty ...

I could insert a hard-return before the word, but that's an awkward
solution, since the document may be revised so that the text may shift around.

Thanks.
