Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer

• If a special character is required in any text input field (such as in the URL field of the

Standard toolbar or in the input fields in the Find&Replace dialogue), press

Shift+Ctrl+S to pop up the Special Characters dialogue.

Inserting Protected Spaces, Hyphens and Conditional Separators

Non-breaking spaces

To prevent two words from being separated at the end of a line, press the Ctrl key while

“typing the space between the words. This is important, for example, between a title and the

person's name.

Non-breaking hyphen

An example of a non-breaking hyphen would be in a company name such as A-Z. Obviously

having A- appear at the end of a line and Z at the beginning of the next line is not usually

desired. To solve this problem, press Shift+Ctrl+ minus sign. In other words, hold

down the Shift and Ctrl keys and press the minus key.

Hyphen, em-dash and en-dash

To enter longer dashes, add the character sequences and replacement under Tools >

AutoCorrect > Replace.

NOTE: There is a Replace dashes under the Options tab but be aware that this selection is for creating paragraph

borders when a sequence of three hyphens or three equals signs are entered these are replaced by a single line

border and a double line border respectively.

Here is a method to use:

1. Open a text document and place the cursor in a convenient location.

2. Use the Special Character dialogue to find the long (em) dash to use and insert it in the

document.

3. Copy the character.

4. Open Tools > AutoCorrect > Replace.

5. Paste the dash character into the With field

6. Enter the desired character sequence into the Replace field. For example, two hyphens

(- -) to trigger the replacement.

Now there is a shortcut that defined that automatically replaces the user-defined input

sequence with the optional dash selected. This dash can also be in another font.

Manual Hyphenation

Although OpenOffice.org offers automatic hyphenation by entering a separator inside a word,

users can override this feature by entering Ctrl+ minus. Thus the word can be

hyphenated at the end of the line regardless of the state automatic hyphenation for this

paragraph.
