RE: suppressing line breaks

["Snavely, Deborah" <dsnavely@xxxxxxxx>]

You can remove these characters file by file but I don't know of any way
to suppress them individually.

When it comes to hyphenation, you've got more options than on or off,
because you can allow or disallow hyphenation in individual paragraph tags.

In some situations such as character headings, I have used non-breaking 
spaces in specific text to work around some inappropriate line breaks. And
when I want to override one of Frame's hyphenation algorithm idiocies, I
insert
a soft hyphen or two.

In locally produced documents, we have removed en-dashes from the template
standard (default) of acceptable line breaks, because they're always used in
numeric ranges as well as the glue in compound figure and table numbers, 
hence should never be an appropriate line break.

If you learn more, I'd be interested in hearing about it, especially if it's
a multi-platform
solution.

*******************
Is there way of suppressing a line break for any of the characters that
appear by default in the "Allow Line Breaks After" list on a case-by-case 
basis?

For example, I know I can allow hyphenation for an entire document, yet
suppress hyphenation for specific appearances of words individually; I'm 
looking for a similar capability with regards to these other characters.

(I don't want to embed line breaks with Shift-Return because, of course,
edits will change where the line break should appear. I hope to find a 
way to suppress line breaks where I know I *don't* want them, because 
this is a property which is invariant with respect to arbitrary edits 
of the document text.)
