Locking text together
Hello,
Is there a way to lock text together to ensure proper formatting? For example: Please sign on Page 2. We would like to lock Page 2 together, so if more typing occurs prior to the sentence the number 2 would not be on the next line (improper business formatting). Thank you for your time. |

You must have selected the text before you typed the nonbreaking space
character! Just type the nonbreaking space character instead of the normal space character.

No... select only the space between 'Page' and '2', not the whole thing.
When you press Ctrl+Shift+spacebar, that inserts a 'nonbreaking space' character, which makes 'Page 2' act like a single word. As usual, it replaces whatever is selected -- so only the regular space character should be selected. -- 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.
