Word 2000 formatting - linking words?

[Original]

Hi there,
I am currently writting a scientific essay. How can I get word to link two words together and recognise them as one?
i.e. when I type the name of an organism like "E. coli" how can I get word to recognise that as a single word and not "E." and "coli"?

There is a way to do it but I was told 4 years ago and can't remember. It's more to keep the term together rather than having to do returns to keep it all on one line. Plays havoc with your formatting when you need to do re-writes.

Any help would be great.
Cheers,

Hi Original

Ctrl-Shift-spacebar.

It's called a hard, or non-breaking space. If you forget the keyboard
shortcut, use Insert > Symbol and click on the Special Characters tab.

You might also find it useful to learn about non-breaking hyphens, which
you'll also find on the Special Characters tab.

Hope this helps.
