Hi Folks!

This character is called a non-breaking space. What exactly does
non-breaking mean?

Thanks

Biff

An NBSP is used to prevent automatic line breaks, so a line like 'this is a
line with a non-breaking space' will never break between the 'with' and
the 'a'. IN HTML it is used to pad out with spaces, because a normal space
gets reduced to a single space.

Go to google.com and enter "define: non-breaking space" without the
quotes.

Thanks, Bob!

And you can do the same kind of thing in MSWord.

Say you have a part number that has embedded spaces in it and you don't want the
line to break at one of those spaces, you can use ctrl-shift-spacebar and it'll
be a non-breaking space.

And same thing with hyphens. ctrl-shift-hyphen is that character.

Inside MSWord, Insert|SymbolSpecial characters if you forget.

FWIW,

Char(173) is a non-breaking hyphen.
