Insert a "Hard Space"
The Problem:
My recently departed, late-lamented, and highly dedicated word processor let you insert a "hard space" that kept the words around it together, so if you wrote "Jose[hard space]Public," "Jose" and "Public" wouldn't be split at the end of a line if that was where the phrase happened to fall. Word doesn't offer hard spaces, even though it's a basic feature.
The Solution:
Word does offer this feature, but it calls them "nonbreaking" spaces. To type a nonbreaking space, press Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar. If the key combination slips your mind, choose Insert 
Symbol, click the Special Characters tab, and look for the "Nonbreaking Space" item.
Tip: Word also offers nonbreaking hyphens, which you can insert by pressing Ctrl+_ (that's Ctrl and the underscore key).
Nonbreaking spaces appear as normal spaces unless you display all punctuation marks (click the Show/Hide ¶ button on the Standard toolbar) or display spaces (choose Tools Options, click the View tab, and check the Spaces box). Spaces then appear as dots, and nonbreaking spaces appear as degree symbols (see Figure 3-9).
Figure 3-9. Use nonbreaking or "hard" spaces to keep words together. Nonbreaking spaces appear as degree symbols when you have spaces displayed.
