A detailed explanation of the individual steps

This is how you insert a new rule in the coupler:

Note: The steps listed here execute a maximum example. The video does not include all steps.

1. First set the rules according to which non-breaking spaces between specific terms (text and/or numbers) should be inserted. In the “*Publish” ribbon, in the “Typography” group click on “Typography functions”.

2. The typography task field will open.

3. In the task field, select “Add rule” in the following dialog on the “Coupler” tab. A dialog appears:

4. In the dialog box you can define the respective elements of the coupler rule in the “Left” and “Right” area.

Left/right [0-9] and [a-z]

5. Enter the exact text that is situated to the left or right of the non-breaking space or select placeholders:

6. [0-9] for any numbers

7. [a-z] for any letters

“Couple” or “Closely couple”/“Hide spacing” or “Force spacing”

Select how the two terms should be coupled:

8. Couple:
   A “normal width” non-breaking space; example: EUR 251 million.

9. Closely couple:
   inserts a narrow non-breaking space to reduce the spacing between two terms; example: 100 %.

10. Hide spacing:
    suppresses spacing between two terms. This function is particularly useful when different rules apply to different languages; example: the spacing required in German between the number and percent symbol should be suppressed in English

11. Force space:
    ensures a non-breaking space between certain terms even if it was not manually inserted when the text was input; example: “[0-9]” and “%”

12. Click “OK” to confirm your selection.
