Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 29319
Allow a string to be marked as "do not break"
Last modified: 2004-05-18 21:33:54 UTC
In some instances, a user may not want a string to break. For example, the string "function_name()" eventually may break at "()". Another example is a chemical formula containing braces such as Fe(H<SUB>2<S/UB>O)<SUB>6</SUB>. We want this to stay together and never break. In old Wodperfect for Dos, one could select a string and mark it not to break. This would be a welcome feature to Writer as well. Currently, the issue may be worked around by inserting the string as a math object, but this is clearly not an elegant solution. In attachment, I included a very small document illustrating the issue.

duplicate. This is not hyphenation but a word-wrap bug. To avoid hyphenation, set the language of the word/expression to "none" or add it to your dictionary with "=" appended ("dont_break=") But again, that OOo wraps the text to the new line at paranthesis is not hyphenation but regular "text flow", solved for OOo 2.0 (you can try with a current developer snapshot like 680m36) *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 19716 ***
