Default Word should let you group words - prevent splitting across lines

For hyphenated words it is very annoying to have then split over two lines.
You can manually move things around to remedy this but as you edit the
document else-
where this becomes time consuming and messy. This is also an issue with
scientific writing where values become separated from units and terminolgy
which is hard to read at the best of times becomes ilegible.

It would be really useful, to me at least, to be able to select text and
'group' it as you can do with drawings. This would ensure that, however the
rest of the document moves around during editing, the words which read more
easily side-by-
side remain so.
