The Help file in my copy of MS-Word says CTRL-Shift-Space. A Microsoft article gives this for Word 1997 through 2003. In a browser, it appears to be necessary to use CharacterMap, or use ALT-0160, or in an html compatible context,

In OpenOffice 2.x or earlier, CTRL-Space inserted a nonbreaking space in texts (cannot be used in the spreadsheet program, Calc). In OpenOffice 3.x that shortcut was changed to CTRL-Shift-Space but the documentation for 3.x still shows the original command. I've just spent 2 h of playing with my keyboard language selection and searching the web for this information. Hopefully I can save you some time by posting this information here since the nonbreaking space is a character appropriate to the SI. As far as I know, M$ Office (on Windows) still uses CTRL-Space and Macs use Command-Space to do the same thing in their various programs. Jim -- James R.
