Stopping hyphenation and/or forcing a line break?

I�m using a variable that has a dash in it (i.e., The Coca-Cola Company). For legal reasons, the entire company name must be on the same line. My problem seems to be two-part. 

First, there are instances where Framemaker forces hyphenation, which moves �Cola Company� to the next line. It seems as though when an author inserts a dash, whether it�s in a variable definition or text, Framemaker treats it like a word and allows hyphenation, even if the author instructed the spellchecker not to allow hyphenation for that word. I tried forcing the spellchecker to stop hyphenation and I tried inserting a �non-breaking space� after the dash in the variable, but it didn�t stop the company name from hyphenating in the document. 

Secondly, since the company name consists of three words, even if I can stop hyphenation, I may find instances where part of the company name breaks across two lines. I don�t want to have to search for every occurrence of the company name and insert a line break where needed since this would be very time consuming. Is there a way to tell Framemaker that if the entire company name doesn�t fit on the same line to move it to the next line? For example, maybe it�s possible to add a symbol at the end of the variable definition. 

I�d appreciate any help with this problem. Does anyone have any advice to solve this problem? 

Thanks!
