Anyone know how to prevent an automatic line break between an em dash and a
closing quotation mark?
For example, in my manuscript, I finish a quotation with "....if there are
any more more cutbacks—" But because this occurs at the end of a line, good
old Word 2007 insists on putting the quotation mark (I use straight quotes)
on the next line.
Back when I used to use double hyphens for an em dash, I could always use
non-breaking hyphens to get around it, but Word seems unaware that quotations
can end with em dashes.
Ideas welcome.
