Thanks everyone for the translations. I will try out Dekel's suggestion abt controlling the spaces using the nolbreaks package with ERT... Thanks again, nirmal

I just noticed that using the math-editor and \mbox with ERT results in
bad spacing.. so in the final output, after Last and the next word,
the space seems a bit less than what's normal between two words.. if I
try adding additional space with the protected space _ then it seems
like it's too much.. is this behavior normal or am I seeing things

You are correct.
The solution is to use \nolbreaks{First M. Last}, and add
\usepackage{nolbreaks} to the preamble.
Another solution is to write First~M.~Last (using protected spaces),
and in the preamble or text add \hyphenation{First}.

There is a simpler way to disable hyphenation:
\hyphenpenalty=1.
This can be done for only one paragraph: write \hyphenpenalty=1 at the
before the paragraph, and \hyphenpenalty=50 after it.
It is also possible to disable hyphenation for specific words:
\hyphenation{foo} will disable hyphenation for the word foo.

I remember reading sg. about it in the lyx documentation. I think it will be much easier to just use text in mathed.

[...] The hyphenation package may help: http://www.dante.de/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/supported/hyphenat/ I've never used it up to now, may be I should have a closer look on it :) bye, Thomas
