How do you type in a dash in your computer?
Check your keyboard it's between the number zero and the plus symbol at the top right of the regular 105+ US keyboard. This is a hyphen and not a dash. If you use the hyphen key, you must use it twice to make a dash, but this still is not a dash as there is a space between the two hyphens. There are two types of dashes. The en dash and the em dash. The en dash is bigger than a hyphen, but smaller than a em dash. The em dash is what most would want to use. The way to type is as follows: en dash - hold down the "alt" key and type 0150. em dash - hold down the "alt" key and type 0151 - Note the dash used in each of the instructions. The first is an en dash, and the second is an em dash. The character beneath them is a hyphen.

Where ndash should be use?
"En dash" is a printer's term referring to a punctuation mark that is longer than a hyphen but shorter than an em dash. The words em and en refer to units of length in typography. The en dash has only a few uses:1) In professional book publishing, the en dash is used when indicating a range of numbers, such as dates or page numbers:pp. 5-81894-1969Most people, when writing a paper or a letter, would not bother to use an en dash in this case; a hyphen is just as good.2) When you join two words or terms, and one of them itself consists of two or more words, then you use an en dash instead of a hyphen, because it helps you to visually identify what is being joined to what:a New York-London flightUniversity of California-Berkeleypost-World War II3) Sometimes, in printing, the en dash is used for a minus sign.
How do you get a non breaking en dash in Word?
Not sure they have one. You might have to choose between a non breaking hyphen (CTRL + Shift + -) and an en dash. The CTRL + Shift combination, which is usually what they use for nonbreaking characters, doesn't work with the en dash. You could try re-wording the text so that the line doesn't break in that exact spot. I know that is a lame work-around, but I really don't think they have a non breaking en (or em) dash in the program.
What is ndash?
An en dash is a mark of punctuation, like a hyphen, but longer. A hyphen is very short, an em dash is long, and an en dash is in between. "En" is a measure of size. An en dash is half the width of an em dash. They are named for the capital letter M, which is the widest letter in a typographic font and thus sets a standard of the font, and the capital letter N, which in traditional type measure is half that width. Ens and ems can also measure spaces. For example, a bulleted list might be set with an em space after each bullet and before the start of text. In use, an en dash is most commonly used for ranges such as with numbers and years. You might see the dates of a person's life listed as, for example, 1875-1960, meaning born in 1875 and died in 1960. In proper typography, that dash between the dates would be an en dash and not a hyphen. Likewise, a range of ages (children 6-8 years old), grades (K-12), sizes (fits size 9-10), and so on would normally be separated by an en dash. Other uses that occur in print are typically more subtle and probably not necessary to understand unless you are interested in publishing conventions.
