Non-breaking hyphen in a paragraph format (numbering)

Is it possible to insert a non-breaking hyphen in a paragraph format (in the autonumbering). This is what I have now:

F:Figure <$chapnum>-<n+>.\sn

But when I use a cross reference to this tag, and the x-ref falls at the end of a sentence, I get this:

Of course, I can insert a soft return, but I'd rather treat the illness than the symptom.

Thanks!

Correct answer Van Kurtz

Or replace the hyphen with \+, the backslash sequence for a nonbreaking hyphen.

Replace the simple hyphen in the xref format paragraph numbering definition with \x15

(Esc Hyphen h on some platforms).
