Default How do I stop a number splitting over 2 lines

I have a word template in which there is a bank account number in the form
123-1234567-12. It happens to be close to the end of a line so depending on
the content of some fill-in fields before the account number it can hit the
end of a line. How can I stop it from splitting into two across the end of
one line and the start of the second line ? It always splits where there is
a hyphen in the account number, but I want to keep the account number
together as one !

I am using word 2002sp3, thanks for your help

Roger

You can insert a nonbreaking hyphen with Ctrl+Shift+Hyphen (and a
nonbreaking space with Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar).
