Sometimes you want Microsoft Word not to split two words across separate lines, but you still need a space between the words. In the example above we have our postcode breaking across two lines when ideally they would remain together.

Instead of inserting a normal space between words, do this:

SHIFT + CTRL + spacebar

Holding down the Shift and Control keys whilst pressing the spacebar ensures Word keeps the two words on the same line.
