I want to use a non-breaking hyphen as can be used in WORD with CTRL+SHIFT+-. I know that a non-breaking space can be done by CTRL+space, but is there a way to do the non-breaking hyphen in Filemaker?

I've used the ascii code of certain characters to place them in a string. You would need to create a calc field to hold it, find the ascii codes required, then build the string.

You can search for upper and lower case letters this way.

Also, fmp uses a text delimiter (search in the forums here) which allows you to place the 'escape' key before characters.
