How do I insert a non breaking space using the Confluence editor? I use version 4.2.2.

In older versions (3.x.x) it was possible to switch to markup mode and insert   but markup mode is no longer available.

Regards,

Henric

From the toolbar click Insert, then select Symbol. The no-break space is the first symbol. A bit difficult to see since, for obvious reasons, you can't see it.

Insert, Symbol, no-break space inserts a normal space for me, not a  . But inserting an ampersand does insert an &. Has anyone else encountered this?

Yeah, this answer doesn't work at all.  It inserts an ordinary space, not a non-breaking one.

Does Ctrl+Shift+Space work?

No, Ctrl-Shift-Space does not work.  Nor does Alt-0160.

The only thing I found that would work is to open Microsoft Word, type a non-breaking space there, then copy-paste it across to Confluence.  This gets tedious after a while.
