Default Non-breaking space

How do I place a non-breaking space between words? That is, a space that
won't separate across lines. If one word wraps to the next line, both do. In
WordPerfect, this is just ctrl-space. How do I do this in Word?

Thanks,
Colin

Colin,
Ctrl+shift+space should do it.

Thanks very much. That worked. Does Word use a different term for this other
than "non-breaking space?" I couldn't find this anywhere in the help system.

Thanks,
Colin

Is this Word 2003? The help system sucks, unfortunately.

Default Non-breaking space

Typography never has been Word's strong suit & Help on the subject reflects
that:-) Have a look in Insert Symbol Special Characters in versions prior
to 2007. If using 2007 you'll find them on the Insert Tab of the Ribbon,
right end. Click Symbol then select "More Symbols...".
