Stopping Indesign from separating certain words

[LostInAud1t1on]

Hi everyone! 

I'm currently working on a piece for a client with a two word brand name. How can I stop Indesign from separating the brand name, by breaking the lines in my text between the two words? Is there a way to only ever display the words together in one line?

Thank you 🙂

Use a GREP style to apply a no-break character style to the words, or the occasional Find/Change to put a nonbreaking space between the words.

By applying a [no break] character style. Through GREP Paragraph styles you can even do this automatically.

GREP styles are the elegant solution, but as they work style by style they'd have to be enabled in all or most styles in a document, which could lead to performance problems. Maybe select use of a GREP style, plus a dedication to always typing the brand name with a hard space (Ctrl-Alt-X), and occasional cleanup/fix by running a Find/Change to insert the hard space — all in all, a slightly clunky but more reliable method.
