How to insert a non-breaking space in a reference page?

Hello all,

Is it possible to insert a non-breaking space in a reference page? I want to control the TOC numbering so that page numbers don't break at the hyphen:

In my reference page, I have the following TOC definition:

<$paratext> <$chapnum>-<$pagenum>

Replacing the hyphen with \+ doesn't seem to work.

Thanks!

Sue

    Sue,

    The sequence \+ is used in dialog boxes. Try typing the nonbreaking hyphen as

    Esc hyphen h

    Press the keys in sequence. Do not hold the Esc key down while you type the others.

    A nonbreaking space is

    Esc space h

    OR

    Control+space

    Hope this helps,

    Van

    Try typing the nonbreaking hyphen as ...

    Unicode-aware versions of Frame (FM8 and up)

    seem to also recognize U+2011 (the Unicode NBH)

    as a Frame non-breaking hyphen (if the glyph is

    present in the Unicode font, and it apparently

    often is not).

    U+00A0 (Unicode non-breaking space) also seems

    to work, but I wasn't able to type it directly (had to

    paste special from Character Map).
