SUMMARY
This article describes how to find information about nonbreaking spaces in Microsoft Word Help.



MORE INFORMATION
A nonbreaking space is used to prevent multiple words from breaking if they fall at the end of a line. For example, you can prevent "M. Poirot" from breaking; Microsoft Word will instead move both words to the beginning of the next line.

If you want to view all the nonbreaking spaces in a document, turn on formatting marks by clicking the Show/Hide (¶) button on the Standard toolbar.

NOTE: Word uses this symbol (°) to represent a nonbreaking space.

To insert a non-breaking space at the insertion point, press CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR.

For more information about nonbreaking spaces, click Microsoft Word Help on the Help menu, type find and replace in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics returned. Click to select the Find and replace paragraph marks, page breaks, and other items topic and then click to select Type the code for an item.

For more information about additional shortcut keys you can use in Microsoft Word, click Microsoft Word Help on the Help menu, type use shortcut keys in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics returned.
