Hello,
Is there a way to keep a word together, without using non-breaking spaces or hyphens? For example I want to keep H+ together. I know I could put in a non-breaking space and reduce the fot size of the sapce so the characters appear close together. I would prefer and option where I could highlight the desired characters and then choose 'keep together'. Does anything like this exist in pages.
Thanks

While there isn't any non-breaking slash, you can create one by placing a zero width joiner on either side of a regular slash.
In Pages '09, at least, that worked to keep a slash-delimited date together across a line break.
I really hope so!
Thanks for suggestion and we'll wait for their app improvement.
Regards.
Hello,
Just offering another plea for help. Anyway to keep characters/symbols together on the same line. I know there is a non-breaking space and hyphen, but that is not in the string of characters.
Thanks for looking!
Same problem here. My dates in my documents are all splitted in two lines. There aren't non-breaking slashes too. Actually, there are just "non-breaking hyphen/space".
And, being extremely sincere, actually this ***** in Pages!!!
Three day searching a answer for questions like these and the only one I got (and what seems to be the only one and right answer) is: "there is no such thing like these in Pages". Because of some simple settings like that, Microsoft Word conquered the world in office plataforms and Apple Pages don't.
There's no reason for this automatic-forced "breaking line". How can Apple let dates or anything with slash be splitted? There is no reason at all. And this just happens all time, no matter what kind of character is inputted...
Sorry for the outburst, but this freaks me out for a long time, principally because seems that Apple don't give a **** about it. Sorry, again, for the words.

Give your feedback by rating/reviewing Pages in the App Store.
Apple may have to suddenly discover its customers again. Only so long you can ignore and p!ss them off. The chickens will come home to roost eventually.

Done, Peter.
But, sincerely, I dont believe that they really read all these solicitations or complaints about their products. Pages has almost a decade of history and yet have these simple problems. Even apps like Libre and Open Office (that are made by NGO and were made after Pages) has these features.
It's just unbelievable!
That's not the point.
Apple largely ignores its users, but it can't ignore bad publicity forever.
I am a strong believer in shining a light on issues. Apple is Apple but when their problems and mistakes are out in the full light of day, even they can't pretend they don't exist.
Given the apologia, craven forelock tugging and cowardice of the Apple media, the best most visible source of information is the very review process that Apple set up itself. Apple actually is quite OK with the criticism, it is the only real way it can keep tabs, from the remoteness of its Cupertino citadel, on what its users think.

Not to my knowledge.
However if you look in the hyphenation it should be set to words of less than 5 letters are not hyphenated.

Keep word/symbols together
