Is there any way in OOo to create a "block of text"? I want the text to
be treated like it was a paragraph, sort of. I don't want it to split

show the borders but maybe there is a simpler way to do this.

Select the paragraph and then I think that Format>Paragraph>Text Flow
and then check "Do not split paragraph" is what you need.
Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough. The text that I want to treat as a
"block" includes more than one paragraph. For example, I have
programming code pasted from somewhere else. Each line is a new
paragraph. I can format each line to "keep with the next paragraph," but
this does not work well (if only because the "keep with next paragraph"
seems to get turned off when the text moves.
The only way I can see doing this is to use a 1x1 table. I also would
love to know how to keep text together (e.g., PM2.5 where the 2.5 is a
subscript) and not break at the end of a line into PM on one line and
2.5 on the next or some other variant.

The first part of your question might be better handled with a "Frame"
which is similar to a "Text Box" in a well known brand X word processor
;-) I have to say I've only done minimal testing so you may find this
has drawbacks too.
The second part can, I think, be handled by selecting the "PM2.5" and
(by treating it as a paragraph) doing the "do not split paragraph" trick
I described above.
