Maybe therefore LyX/XeTeX allow linewraps everywhere. The usual (La)TeX way of preventing wraps in a word (or other text part) is, to put it in an \mbox: Pleas do not wrap the line in \mbox{Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaft}. This could be done via raw LaTeX (ERT) or an inset. If there are many cases where this is required, you may save time by editing the source file with a text editor. Günter
