I can't believe I don't know how to do this, as many years as I have been using Writer.
Suppose I have a line of text that ends with a scientific notation like "[-sonorant]." Because of the length of the line Writer breaks it between the "[-" and the "sonorant]. To further clarify, the automatic line break makes it end like [- sonorant], followed by the rest of the sentence. This is just wrong. I need Writer to keep it all on one line so it is [-sonorant]. Of course, I can just enter some spaces to force it (and I did, just to get the job done), but that is not a good solution. If I later edit the text before or after there will be some extra spaces that should not be there. I thought I could just select "[-sonorant]" and apply some feature to it so it would always stay together. But I can't find any way to do that. I can't use Insert Non-Breaking Space because the notation doesn't have any spaces in it. A non-breaking hyphen would work, except that I can't use a hyphen. The standards for the notation require an n-dash, which Writer interprets as a regular hyphen. Is there any way to tell Writer "keep the next X characters together"? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
