You should try to avoid doing this wherever possible as it makes reading the text much more difficult.

However, if you must, you should try to split in a way that keeps meaning intact. For example, with compound words, such as "keyboard" you should split like so:

key-

board.

What is a non-breaking hyphen in MS 2010?

A non-breaking hyphen will keep the words together on the same line, and will not split them if one word doesn't have room to fit on the end of a line, but another does. The whole combination will be brought onto a new line. This ensures they will never be split. For some combinations of words that have hyphens, it is proper to always keep them on one line.

How do you know when to use one or the other of these punctuation marks?A hyphen is a short, single-character line which connects word parts.The hyphen serves two primary functions:to divide words that split at the end of a lineto join word parts into a single word.A dash is a longer line---double the length of a hyphen---which indicates a break or an interruption in the thought.Dashes are used to set off part of a sentence. Unlike parentheses, which tend to minimize, dashes tend to emphasize the set-off text.Using these punctuation marks correctly will help you make your meaning clear to your readers.
