Hi Eric,
Here's one way:
.. select 'Merleau-Ponty'
.. press Ctrl-F9 to enclose 'Merleau-Ponty' in a field, thus { Merleau-Ponty }
.. edit the field to read {EQ Merleau-Ponty}
.. press F9 to update.
Note: If you don't remove the trailing space from the field, it will appear in the output.

Unfortunately the result is that the optional hyphen is visible at the end of
the line:
... unlike the French philosopher -
Merleau-Ponty ...
(Just to to avoid confusion...when you say optional hyphen, I'm typing
control-hyphen.)
Thanks for the suggestion.

I _think_ that if you type an Optional Hyphen before (attached to)
Merleau, that keeps it from breaking.
But I may be projecting from another application, since that behavior
isn't documented.

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.
