Raised in the planned suburb of Levittown, Long Island (a model for the postwar building boom), Joel spent his early career in Los Angeles, working briefly as the singer in a bar on Wilshire Boulevard-an experience commemorated in his signature song, “Piano Man.” He went on to become one of the most successful artists in pop, bridging reflective singer-songwriter material (1982’s The Nylon Curtain) with sock-hop nostalgia like “The Longest Time” and “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me” for a theatrical, particularly American sound whose resonances can be heard not only in piano balladeers, but in pop omnivores like Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga. When you click Change All, InDesign searches for all instances of the phrase and applies the No Break character format to it.Broad, earnest, and unreservedly sentimental, Billy Joel remains the quintessential showman of pop music.
(You may have to click the More Options button to see the formatting options.) Of course, you don’t want to apply No Break to each and every instance of the company name! Instead, open Find/Change (Command/Ctrl-Shift-F) and apply the formatting to the Change To field. However, if you’re going to use it a lot, I highly encourage you to give it a shortcut with Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
You can also find this in the Character panel. To stop any word or words from breaking, select the word or phrase and choose No Break from the Control panel menu (when it’s in Character formatting mode in CS1 or CS2, or anytime in CS3).
While there’s no way to add this sort of thing to a dictionary, you can use InDesign’s No Break feature. I have a client whose company name is two words, let’s say “Typographic University.” Is there a way to keep these two words always together, and never have them break apart at the end of a line, in InDesign? A script? A setting in the Dictionary?
