OpenOffice: Insert non breaking space

There are three different possibilities how to create a non-breaking space in OpenOffice.

• Use the key combination CTRL + SHIFT + SPACE - just write a normal space character using the space bar while holding the CTRL and the SHIFT key pressed simultaneously.
• Click into your text at the position at which you would like to insert the character and go to the menu "Insert > Formatting Mark > Non breaking space".
• On Windows, you can type a non-breaking space systemwide using ALT + 0160 on the numeric keypad, on Mac OS, you can use ALT + SPACE instead.

Surely, the first way will be the fastest one, but of course, it is a matter of taste which possibility you prefer.

By the way, the non-breaking space will be displayed grey while processing the text, after the printout, you will notice nothing about the difference to a normal space.
