What you want to use the Word's "non-breaking hyphen" which is typed
as command-tilde (clover ~). BTW, if you are printing in Times or
other normal fonts when doing math be sure to change to the symbol
font for the minus sign so that it looks nice like a real minus sign
instead of short and stubby like a hyphen. Just get in the habit of
hitting command-shift-q before hitting the hyphen (or command-tilde
if it might break because it's at the end of a line); that makes your
next character be symbol font and then switches back to the font you
were using.
