Is there a way to add a non-breaking space to a text block?

I want to add a non-breaking space between two words in a text block so the words always stay on the same line. (For instance, a text block that only contains the first and last name of a vendor that I always want to stay on one line.) Is there a way to add a non-breaking space ( ) HTML Entity within a text block?

Thanks for your quick reply, Paul. The Option+Spacebar keyboard shortcut for non-breaking space worked like a charm on my Mac.

Hi Paul, 

I am also trying to add non break space within a text block, but when I use the keyboard shortcut of option+spacebar, nothing seems to change. Is there another shortcut or way to troubleshoot this?

Thank you! 

A tip for Windows users.

I couldn't get the ctrl + shift + space to work in 7.1.
But I did find a trick that works.
Hold down alt, enter 255 on the keypad, release alt.

It's not the friendliest shortcut, and you need have a keypad, but it works.

Option+Spacebar on a Mac does not work at all ... Do you have any updated information please?
