Does XL2K have hard hyphens?
 
What I mean are those hyphens that don't break to the next row as
regular hyphens do. In Word, I believe it's Ctrl+Shift+hyphen to get
these. Was hoping there was something in XL2K. If it is, it isn't
the same as in Word <g.

Thanks.

I don't believe Excel has this functionality.

I ran into this problem again yesterday. So there's absolutely no way
to force two words together so they don't split between lines? Tx.

Not a hyphen, but how about a "non-breaking" space?

To keep "Stargate Fan" as a single entity,
Enter
Stargate
<Alt 0160
Fan
By holding down <Alt, and using the numbers from the Num keypad, *not* the
numbers under the function keys.

This enters a non-breaking space [ Char(160) ], which is a bane on imported
web data.
