But it is easy to give cases where "+" should be a break, and easy to give cases where "‘" should, even in the same documents.
I'm sure it's possible, but easy? I can't think of a case where I'd like "a+b" to be treated as three words in one case but as only a single word in others. Anyway, as I said, there will always be corner cases. My guess is that for most documents, the definition of "word" either never changes or has very few exceptions. In the former case, being able to define the characters to be considered part of words would solve the problem, and in the latter case, it would make it possible to deal only with the exceptional cases. As things stand now, I have a situation where every document I write uses "C++" as a single word, but Writer gives me no way to directly say that. (I have not yet tried Michael Adams' suggestion to address this via autoreplace, which seems like a promising approach.)
DeScribe had a simple do-not-break character attribute; I have always wished OOo had the same.
What did it do? How is it different from Writer's "no-width no break" formatting directive?
