A thread in a general-discussion area here concerned unexpected behavior when 'No Break' is set for a text style via the style-editing dialog. (There might be a bug involved or it might be working as designed; I'm not sure.)

One participant mentioned not being able to find information about 'No Break' in the online help. I searched for 'break' within the help and also couldn't find 'No Break' either. It would be helpful to have this documented in future releases — especially if its use within the Character palette is intended to have an entirely different effect from what happens when you enable the setting in the style-editing dialog.

It's documented, sort of, in the Help for the Character Panel:

No break—tick this checkbox to ensure lines will not be broken at the ends. Soft hyphens will still be honoured.

By the way, for reference, I think the other discussion that Mike mentioned is this one:

That certainly occurred (to an entire paragraph) when No Break was selected during style editing and when I applied the style in question to a paragraph. In a paragraph not having that style: When I placed the insertion point within it and clicked No Break in the Character palette, nothing changed. The setting did not have its apparent intended effect until I'd selected all text within the paragraph. (Working as designed?)

The change in the Character panel would not affect existing text unless you had already selected the text. It would affect text that you enter after that point.

Character panel changes affect selected text or text that is about to be entered.

Paragraph panel changes affect paragraphs, both current and yet-to-be entered.
