Covert,
Press Alt+0160 to insert a non-breaking space. (numeric keypad)
Does this help?

Hi Luc,

It's a great help, thanks a bunch! I need to keep dollar amounts in French
together (they're separated by spaces as opposed to commas in English) and
this will help me format the slides much better.

Thanks again

This answers my query too but is there a better shortcut as in Word such as
Ctrl + shift + Space Bar

No, but you can do a SHIFT+ENTER to do a soft return to push down what you
want on the second line.

Yes, If you go into Tools Autocorrect options and assign it there. In my case I
have assigned Alt+0160 to -- so that every time I insert a double hyphen it
makes it into a non braking space.

Alt+0160 is just the answer I was looking for. How frustrating that this
"secret code" does not appear to be mentioned anywhere in PowerPoint help!

Now the follow up: I need the code for a nonbreaking HYPHEN as well. This is
because my non-breaking space is going between a quotation and a hyphen, and
again between the hyphen and the name of the person being quoted, thus:

"I thought the soda was too fizzy." - John, 25 year old male

I have to prevent the line from breaking between the end of the quote and
the beginning of the attribution. So not only do I need two non-breaking
spaces, I need a non-breaking hyphen, too! Who can give me the secret code
for that?

Thanks, Malcolm

 

[Malcolm]

I wrote "nonbreaking hyphen," but what I actually need is the code to make a
nonbreaking EN DASH or EM DASH. Thanks.

 

[Michael Koerner]

using the numeric keypad, Alt+0150 = en dash, and Alt+0151 = em dash
