Avoid linebreak in some text

Hi

Is it possible to ensure that linebreak doesn't occur in some part of the text, for excample some special format code (1 222 23) that has spaces in it? Something like html <nobr> ?

Non breaking space: Control +Space
Non breaking hyphen: Control+Shift+-
To be able to see these differently turn on Field shadings: View > Field Shadings (or Control+F Cool

Is it possible to do this with other characters? For example, I don't want any line breaks in a file name such as /etc/init.d/httpd.

Same problem here. For example, I don't want this trunc[ated] word to split at the bracket, but OO splits it. Stupid really.

Word does the same thing (not sure about OO) with abbreviations so R.Consist (one I use a lot) gets split at the period. I haven't had that problem with OO, but lines should not break except at space, hyphens and a few other characters.

WordPerfect is the only one that seems to get this totally right.

I'd like to see a way to force WP-like behavior in OO
