Non-breaking space

In certain cases, two words separated by a space must remain on the same line. Presentations is unaware of this and may put the words on separate lines when it automatically inserts line breaks.

An example: You want the price "USD 29.80" to be written as one unbroken unit. You can ensure this by inserting a protected (non-breaking) space between "USD" and "29.80". To insert such a space, press the key combination Ctrl+Shift+Space instead of just the space bar.

When printed, the non-breaking space looks exactly like a normal space. It differs only in directing Presentations to ensure that the designated words are not spread over two lines.
