There may be times when you want to use special characters in a document. For example, you might want to insert a nonbreaking hyphen (which prevents a hyphenated word such as open-ended from being separated by a line break), or you might want to insert a nonbreaking space (which prevents two words from being separated by a line break). Special characters are inserted using the Special Characters page on the Symbol dialog box.

Word provides many special characters, including the Copyright ( © ), Registered ( ® ), and Trademark ( ™ ) characters. For example, you may need to use the copyright character when you assert or acknowledge the copyright of a particular document. A registered or trademark character is appropriate if you mention a product name in a document.

Many special characters are assigned keyboard shortcuts used to insert the characters into the document. Using a keyboard shortcut allows you to insert a character without opening the Symbol dialog box. For example, insert the Trademark ( ™ ) character by pressing the [Alt+Ctrl+T] key combination. Assign a shortcut key or remove a shortcut key from any special character, including shortcut keys assigned by default in Word.
