Help please: Keeping spaced characters on one line
I am using MS word 2003.
In my long document I separate all figure and their units, for example "20 % "not "20%". In my left justified text this means that sometimes the number "20" and the unit "%" appear at the end of one line and the start of the next. I would be grateful for advice. A. Is there an easy way to prevent this happening or B. is there a wild card I can use to search for all instances where these occur so that I can manually create spaces so that both the number and the unit appear on the same line. Thank you. Etienne |

What you want is a "non-breaking space" between the figures and there units:

Thank you for this advice.
I'd still like a simple way of finding all the instances where this breaking occurs in my document (a 300 page PhD thesis). However, I realise that this may not be possible. I seems from this advice that shall have to use the find function for all cases where this occurs [including %, the symbol for degrees, and the units ug and mg etc] and insert a non breaking space as appropriate.
