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. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Hi TomG,

Word should let you group words - prevent splitting across lin
Thanks!
That's extremely useful. I could still do with the word grouping in order to keep quotes with dates, values with units etc... |

You can also use nonbreaking spaces (Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar).
