Hi,

I know the topic has been discussed before and I worked through a handful of suggested solutions, but all to no avail. It is driving me mad.

I want to insert small non-breaking spaces into my translation. To that purpose I created a QuickInsert and copied the non-breaking space (out of the Palatino Linotype font) into the input mask. But the lines do still break at this character.

Does anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Doesn't CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE work for you? What keyboard/font are you using?

Not small enough Jun 15, 2018

This short cut is creating a non breaking space, I need a SMALL non-breaking space. But thanks for your suggestion.

Can Wikipedia be of help? Jun 15, 2018

Wikipedia has an article on thin space. I don't know if the Unicode can be of any help?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_space

You could perhaps also try to copy it over from Word.

They do break in Studio... Jun 15, 2018

...but they don't break in Word or other DTP specific apps like InDesign. So you can just ignore the rendering in Studio.

Wow! Jun 16, 2018

Wow!
This is a solution that I would have never thought of. But you're absolutely right: I copied a paragraph back into Word, where the space did it's non-breaking work smoothly.

I'm flabbergasted. Wonder why it is that regular non-breaking spaces don't break the line in Trados, but small ones do.
