No Breaks
A No Break is used to prevent a word or a phrase from breaking across a line.
Transcript
In addition to proper nouns and product names, No Break can also be used for the following:
- To prevent single-letter words “I” and “A” from occurring at the end of a line.
- To prevent short words like “An,” “The,” and so on from occurring at the end of a line when they are part of a title, such as The Bell Jar.
- To keep together numerical expressions like “May 31” or “8 miles,” or phrases like “Chapter 9.”
- To prevent two or more consecutive lines from starting with the same word.
A No Break can be applied to a selected range of text locally, or as a Character Style. No Breaks can also be applied as a GREP Style.
To troubleshoot text flow problems, it can be helpful to view where No Breaks have been applied.
