Nonbreaking space The same width as pressing the spacebar, but it prevents the line from being broken at the
space character.
Thin space One-eighth the width of an em space. You may want to use a thin space on either side of an em dash or
en dash.
Figure space Same width as a number in the typeface. Use a figure space to help align numbers in financial tables.
Punctuation space Same width as an exclamation mark, period, or colon in the typeface.
To add column, frame, and page breaks
Control column, frame, and page breaks by inserting special break characters in the text.
1 Using the Type tool, click to place the insertion point where you want the break to occur.
2 Choose Type > Insert Break Character, and then choose a break character from the submenu. (See “Break options”
on page 157.)
You can also create breaks by using the Enter key on the numeric keypad. For a column break, press Enter; for a frame
break, press Shift+Enter; and for a page break, press Ctrl+Enter (Windows) or Command+Return (Mac OS).
To remove a break character, choose Type > Show Hidden Characters so that you can see nonprinting characters, and
then select and delete the break character.
Note: If you create a break by changing paragraph settings (as in the Keep Options dialog box), the break precedes the
paragraph that contains the setting. If you create a break using a special character, the break occurs immediately after
the special character.
Break options
The following options appear on the Type > Insert Break Character menu:
Column break Flows text to the next column in the current text frame. If the frame has only one column, the text
goes to the next threaded frame.
Frame break Flows text to the next threaded text frame, regardless of the current text frame’s column setup.
Page break Flows text to the next page with a text frame threaded to the current text frame.
Odd page break Flows text to the next odd-numbered page with a text frame threaded to the current text frame.
Even page break Flows text to the next even-numbered page with a text frame threaded to the current text frame.
The above break characters do not work in tables.
Forced Line Break Forces a line to break where the character is inserted.
Paragraph Return Inserts a paragraph return (the same as pressing Enter or Return).
Related break options are available in the Keep Options dialog box (see “To control paragraph breaks” on page 217)
and in the New Paragraph Style dialog box.
