non-breaking space for en dash
I am using Office Word 2007 with Vista, and was wondering what the shortcut
key is for a non-breaking en dash. I know that Ctrl+Shift+ - will give you a non breaking hyphen, but I would like a non-breaking en dash? |

In the non-breaking category, it has the hyphen and the space, that's all. You can see the whole list in Insert Symbol More Symbols Special Characters. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Although, as Jay says, there's no nonbreaking en dash character, you may
find that, in a given font, the minus sign (which is nonbreaking) will work fine. It's at U2212 and differs from the en dash only in being a trifle higher (same width and weight). -- Suzanne S.
