I almost feel foolish asking this, but tonight for some reason I'm blanking out on a keyboard sequence I use practically daily but which, for some reason, is escaping me at the moment. I can't find a reference to it anywhere in my notes or online. The key combo includes a hyphen, and you type this combo just ahead of just one word when you don't want just THAT one word to hyphenate. It isn't a setting for the document overall; it's just a quick way to prevent hyphenation, for example, at the end of a line of text, vs. using a forced return (which might throw things off if the text shifts later). Does anyone out there know the key combo I'm talking about? I think I've done it on automatic for so long that I just haven't thought about what it is, and now that I have to tell someone, I can't! Standing by for your most helpful responses, and please don't judge!!! LOL
Ah. I'm not quite a lost cause after all. It came back to me. If you would like to use this shortcut, it is:
"Ctrl [plus] Shift [plus] -" (minus sign or hyphen). Just insert directly before a word you do not want to hyphenate (NOTE: this does not affect compound words where hyphens have been manually inserted).

Thanks. I searched before I posted but guess I didn't word it quite right.
