To simplify things, consider a monospaced font, with each line in a word-wrapped field displaying 20 characters. Let's look at the string:

THIS IS A STRING WHICH WE WILL ASSUME IS RENDERED IN A MONOSPACED FONT.

With "normal" (breaking) spaces, the field will show lines with text as follows:

THIS IS A STRING
WHICH WE WILL ASSUME
IS RENDERED IN A
MONOSPACED FONT.


The space between STRING and WHICH breaks the first line, the space between ASSUME and IS breaks the second, and the space between A and MONOSPACED breaks the third. Now change the space between STRING and WHICH into a non-breaking space, and you get this:


THIS IS A
STRING WHICH WE WILL
ASSUME IS RENDERED
IN A MONOSPACED
FONT.

I believe that he is referring to a

space which does not break a line.  So if that
space falls at the end
of a line, it will not break there, but it will
keep looking back for a
"regular" space.

thanks for the response.

i can see how a space would break a word,
but i don't underatand how a space breaks
a line.
