Text Formatting ⇒ Preventing line breaks

[theo moore]

I have a bit of text that I want to keep on the same line, even IF it goes slightly past the text boundary. That is, I have something like this

Code: Select all

The year went from 2003-
2004

I want to keep 2003-2004 on the same line (the first line), even though the last bit of 2004 will go past the text boundary. How would I do that? If I wanted to do it using the mathematical font, I could do,

Code: Select all

The year went from ${2003-2004}$

But I want it all to be regular text font.

I suppose I could do,

Code: Select all

The year went from ${\text{2003-2004}}$

#

But that's not very satisfying.

You could start with rearrangement of the concerned sentence. Another way would be put this piece of text into a box.

Code: Select all

\mbox{2003--2004}
