Typesetting: Non-breaking space with justified alignment
When writing a scientific article often two columns are used with justified
alignment of the text over the width of the column. A non-breaking space (Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar) can be used to prevent separate but related words from breaking. The words are kept together and are placed on the next line. However, the non-breaking space has a fixed width and does not justify. It would be useful to have a non-breaking space that justifies. For instance with names €śJohn Smith€ť or references €śliterature [2]€ť. In other cases it is still useful to have a non-justifying non-breaking space, for instance with physical values €ś10 mm€ť or €ś30 mph€ť. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Typesetting: Non-breaking space with justified alignment
I agree. I often use nonbreaking spaces, but the fixed width is sometimes
very obvious and not always desirable. It helps if you use hyphenation to avoid especially loose lines. -- Suzanne S.
