Bill, Thank you for posting your ideas so quickly! I already tried using �non-breaking space� but it only works in body text, not in the Variable Definition field. I use a Variable for �The Coca-Cola Company.� In addition, if I wasn�t using Variables, I would have to manually insert �non-breaking spaces� between every word in the company name, every time the company name occurred in the manual. It would solve one problem, but increase labor. I also already considered configuring the paragraph tag to not hyphenate, but I have a lot of documentation, so the author would have to manually enter hyphens, which would increase labor. I�m looking for the best method that will insure no errors and reduce labor. For that reason, I want to take away possible human error and make this occur automatically. So far, I�ve looked through the online help and didn�t find a complete solution. The only solutions I have found are as follows: 1. Removing hyphenation for the word (Coca-Cola) from the spellchecker library. This is the best method since it isolates the change to the specific word. 2. Removing the dash (-) symbol from the �Text Options� dialog box, which is the default setting, although the disadvantage is it won�t allow all words in the document that has a dash to hyphenate. Unfortunately, both solutions eliminate hyphenation in the word �Coca-Cola� but they don�t solve my second problem, which is to not allow multiple words to reside on two lines (i.e., The Coca-Cola Company). Does anyone have any ideas on how to force �The Coca-Cola Company� only to reside on the same text line? I�m sure someone must have been challenged with this problem in the past. Any ideas? Thanks!
