No break certain words

Is there a way to set up certain words with No Break? For example, the name of the company, I don't want to hyphenate but it is. I know I can set up a character style to correct it but I was hoping to set up the word to NEVER break.

You can also add the company name in the user dictionary (Edit menu > spelling > user Dictionary). Add the name and insert a tilde before it.

    That is great! Can I also add it to a document? I am creating a template for others to use. Can I add it to the file?

    Yes, you can add the word to the document dictionary OR merge your user dictionary into the document (under preferences).

     

    BTW, note that multiple-word company names won't work in the dictionary.

    Create a character style with only No Break set. In the Paragraph style settings, create a GREP style. Select your character style, but instead of any grep code, type the word(s) in that field.
