An overview of special characters

RxbtnInsertDash 16.png En-dash

Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + “-” on the numeric keypad

An en-dash is longer than a hyphen; a space is inserted in front and after it. Screen display as an example: This text – a good example.

RxbtnInsertNonBreakingHyphen 16.png Non-breaking hyphen

Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + “-”

A non-breaking hyphen is used if a hyphenated term should not be split at the hyphen. Example: “EBIT margin”

RxbtnInsertSyllableHyphen 16.png Soft (discretionary) hyphen

Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + “–”

A soft or discretionary hyphen is set manually to specify a separation point within a word; if the word is not split, the hyphen remains invisible. Screen display as an example: Test¬word

RxbtnInsertNonBreakingSpace 16.png Non-breaking space

Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift- + Space

A non-breaking space is used to prevent a line break e.g. between a number and a unit of currency: 251 ͜ million Euro; screen display as an example: Test word (for an additional explanation of the coupler, see About the coupler.)

RxbtnInsertSoftReturn 16.png Soft return

Keyboard shortcut: Shift- + Enter

A soft return begins a new line but not a new paragraph – in contrast to a paragraph break (¶) which you can insert with the Enter key.

Good to know

The paragraph marks (special characters) must be shown so that the screen display is visible.
